A heartwarming story to calm your nerves before starting

big school!

My name is Ava. Today I am going to big school! I am excited.

My name is Jack. Today I am going to big school! I feel nervous.

Ava is so excited to start big school, she can't

wait to colour in and run around with the other kids in her class.

But Jack is really nervous, he feels very shy

and doesn't know if he wants to join in.

But when Ava decides to play with Jack, he doesn't feel as nervous

any more and learns that we're all a bit scared when we start

big school, but it can be fun too!

Perfect for kids about to start primary school to show them how

everyone feels a bit differently about starting, and that's okay!
