Uniform.....summer dress or full uniform?

[Panyanpickle77]

Hi, DD starts school at 1pm, and I'm not sure whether to dress her in the full uniform, or in the summer dress. Its a lovely day, but I don't want her to feel like the odd one out on her first day........neurotic or what!!!!!!!!!

summer

is it hot? do you see the sun? sundress

if its cold jumper

and if it rains take a raincoat

PMSL

the things we obsess about

summer dress I think if you've got one. Last year DS was the only one who started in shorts. I think most of the other mums hadn't bothered to buy them at that time of year. He's been in them all this week as well.

Summer. Very few in winter uniform today (probably newbies !).

DD went in wearing her normal uniform yesterday and melted . So today she went in her summer dress. DS1&2's school stipulate that only winter uniform is to be worn, but that is a secondary school. Most primaries (state) are pretty relaxed.

I've dressed DD in summer uniform this week.
In the playground I've seen half and half of summer and winter uniforms

summer dress for us too

seems to be half and half at school though

Having now gone outside, I've decided on the full uniform as its a bit breezy.......I did um and ar at wrapping her in cotton wool and keeping her at home, but that would be neurotic.

yes cotton wool would be OTT .. you need bubble wrap

First day we did new winter stuff and took photos. But lovely weather has us back in the summer stuff now

Our school wears summer uniform until half-term which is eminently sensible, however it is a cotton-mix kilt and short-sleeve polo shirt rather than a dress.

Ours have short sleeved polo shirts for the uniform in Reception and so I have just put dd in that with a pinafore and ankle socks - she refused to wear the cardigan and so we ditched that. Quite a few girls are wearing the summer dresses but I am a cheapskate and won't be buying them until next summer when she will have grown a bit more .

At our school they go back in summer uniform - some are in winter though.

Ours have to go back in winter uniform after half term.

The majority are in summer atm though.

No me neither batters. Dd is wearing a summer school dress that was her big sisters. Ah, the joys of hand-me-downs!

I bought DS a pair of uniform shorts when he started on the principle that length was not that much of an issue. The majority of the children did not seem to have them.

And he is wearing that pair of shorts today a year later so I was right.
