So the school holidays are officially over and my children are back to class tomorrow! This time of year is always a rush to make sure my children have the best possible start to the school year. Over the years I’ve developed a checklist of what’s needed for that first important day back in school. For any of you who have left it last minute – here’s my quick checklist of things to make sure you have!
Uniform
At least one blazer
3 Shirts
Two skirts/trousers
2 P.E. Kits
1 Pair of trainers
Raincoat
2 Cardigans
2 Pairs of smart shoes
Equipment
Pens and Pencils
Eraser and Pencil Sharpener
Maths Kit
Scientific Calculator
Fountain Pen and cartridges
Ink
Notebooks
Folders
Folder slides
Scissors
Tape
Pritstick
Index Cards
Highlighters
Sticky Notes
Pencil Case
And last of all, a great backpack –
This is probably the part that your child will enjoy choosing the most! Make sure to get a good sturdy one with lots of pockets. A padlock is a hand item to store inside the backpack too in case your child has lockers at school.
Good luck with the beginning of many school runs!
Love BWC xoxo
