What to buy for starting school

My DD starts in reception in September but the open day isn't until July. I want to start preparing what I need to buy bit by bit to spread the expense and help prepare my Dd, and would love to hear your wise experience.

I know I'll need uniform, but what else? Do we need packed lunch box, water bottle, school bag (presumably we have to buy those little reading book bags from the school directly?).

Is there anything useful to buy for home that will help with home work, like counting etc.?

Going to state primary school in England. Thanks

I sew in name labels and write the name in in sharpie after some bugger nicked one, took the name label out and used the jumper for a year!

I was more pissed off at the fact they'd cut out the labels I spent ages bloody sewing in than the jumper theft to be fair!
