According to Maria's school (she had her introduction morning on Thursday) these things are:
Tidying up toys
Putting shoes neatly side by side
Tying shoe laces (still can't do this - any tips??)
Zip up jacket
Cut paper and cloth
Wash hands after going to the loo
Eat with a knife and fork
Taste new things
Travel to school safely (the expectation being that they walk alone)
and
Peel potatoes
I love that there is no expectation of academic skills, they aren't expected to even know the alphabet properly yet although they learn it in preschool, but it's the peeling potatoes that cracks me up - need to work on that one this summer!
