Ready to Learn
Do you want your child to excel at school?
Being prepared for school, whether it's Harlands School or Nursery, helps children adjust more easily to the new environment and routine. This reduces stress and allows them to focus their energy on learning.
Children who are ready to learn tend to grasp concepts quicker, which builds confidence and motivates them to keep achieving.
Imagine your child skipping excitedly into school, ready to explore, make friends, and conquer new challenges. That's the power of school readiness! This mini-series will equip you with tips to help your child thrive in a learning environment.

Well rested pupils do perform better in school.
Doctors think that most children need to get about 10-12 hours of sleep every day.
Sleep gives your body a chance to focus energy on things that help to keep you healthy.
Sleep also gives your body a chance to use energy to fight off the germs that can make.
Sleep not only gives your body a rest, it gives your brain a rest, too!
Your brain also sorts out your feelings while you sleep.
Sleep makes you better at solving problems at home and at school.
Ready to Learn - Diet
A balanced, varied diet is essential to make sure children get all the nutrients and energy they need to develop and stay healthy.
To get the most out of a healthy diet, children need to drink 6-8 glasses of water a day, get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day and get enough sleep.
A healthy diet will help your child maintain a healthy weight.
Sugary drinks and food should be limited to help prevent tooth decay.
