I would be very grateful if someone could tell me what do the foundation class teachers expect from their newcomers. I guess they would expect them to know:
letters
numbers
writing pupil's name
being able to play in small and big groups
answering questions in front of the whole class (one teacher told me it is not good to be shy; no time for this; although at this stage kids or some kids can be shy)
being able to dress up and undress
going to the loo independetly
being able to feed themselves during the lunchtime
making friends
