Tips for Getting Ready for FS1
Choose your child bag with him / her, big enough to suit an A4 folder, a lunch box and water bottle. It must NOT have wheels and it should be suitable for your child to carry.
Please bring as well: spare uniform, socks and underwear to change for any reason during the day. Make sure that all these items are labelled clearly.
School shoes / trainers should be black with Velcro and NOT with laces. Kids need to bring daily to school lunch bag, water bottle, Character Building
booklet “My First Steps” and pack of tissue / wipes. Choose your child’s lunch bag and school bag without war drawings. All kids’ items need to be labelled clearly with permanent ink. School supplies don’t need to be labelled. Please bring them on your kid’s second
day at school. All books and plastic folders need to be labelled as well and they will be left at
school except if there is any required task. Parents may be asked to replenish these items during the year as they became
depleted.
Don’t worry
Your child doesn’t need to be able to read, write or do sums before they start school. Children start school with a wide range of abilities and their teacher will be skilled at helping children progress at their own level.

Things that you can do to get your child ready for school
Chat with your child about starting school. What do they think it will be like? What are they most looking forward to? Is there anything they’re unsure or worried about?
Look at the school’s website and follow our Facebook Page http://www.facebook.com/saharainternationalschool/ and talk about the pictures.
Find photos of you and other family members at school, and chat about happy memories from your own school days.
Try to get into the school routine, so your child gets used to getting up, going to bed by 7 pm, and having meals and snacks upon their school day schedule.
Bath time and stories instead of TV and tablet games all help children to wind down before bedtime.
Making time in the evening to chat about your day for 10 minutes can be a lovely routine for sharing fun times and any worries.
Chat about the importance of good hand washing with soap and water, especially after going to the toilet or playing.
Help your child to start doing things independently like using toilet and eating alone.
Things you need to avoid It’s natural to feel nervous about your child starting school, but remember that your
child can easily pick up on your emotions. Try to be relaxed and positive, rather than showing your own nerves.
Leaving child suddenly on his first day will not help him in the other days. Tell him that you will be leaving in 10 minutes and say goodbye before leaving even if he cried. Make sure he knows exactly how he will go home to feel safe and OK.
Saying things that are not at school will lead your child to be disappointed. So please tell him the real things that exist and happen at school.
