Practitioner testimonials
"The packs gave a good start to the school-parent link to show we want to work as a partnership."
"Really simple things like how to use chalk to support mark making, really positive and easy for parents. 50 things was very much welcomed as a resource for ideas of things to do, as some parents seem to struggle to "entertain" their children."
"Great to have all the information in one place for parents."
"Parents often ask what they can do to help their children prepare for school, and highlighting the activities in the pack was an easy way to give them tangible ideas for things to do with their children."
"Great starter kit for children for over the summer."
"Ideas to prepare for school but also show parents how learning can be done through play."
"Showed the focus area for starting school as the ‘prime areas’ and the simple activities that could be completed to support children rather than those that may focus on writing or more specific skills."
"Children were given the same opportunities and resources, and families were helped to understand the areas we wish to develop before school - less academic, more PSED and motor skills focused."
"Good foundation and ideas for families to work on over the summer.
"50 Things to Do links created a good framework over the summer and impetus to keep developing children’s skills over the break."
