WELCOME BACK 2026!!!

Hopefully all students have had an exciting start to 2026 with new classrooms and teachers. There will be some students however who will be unsure or nervous so l have put some ideas together for you to hopefully make drop off time into the classroom a happy and smooth transition.  

The first is an amazing app called ‘Smiling Minds’. You can create a free account and peruse their ideas.  Another one is ‘Kids Helpline’. Just google it and browse through the free helpful platform under either ‘kids’ or ‘parents. As well as that l have an attachment below that could be for parents who want to boost their child’s confidence before they leave. Remember, drop off should be a quick kiss and go straight away to minimise any anxiety.
