name tags in socks???

[aaaarrrgh]

surely not!

What exactly do I have to label?

Am I supposed to provide pencils and stuff for my daughter who is going into reception?

why has noone told me this stuff?

I'm not labelling socks; that way madness lies. I'm going to drill DD that socks go inside shoes when taken off (shoes have labels).

Am going to label tights though.

I don't think you send pencils and stuff; friend who's training to teach that age group say they discourage pencil cases as the children just mess about with them. School hasn't told me otherwise.

Final question - I don't know, it's like they expect us to be grown-ups or something. I am most certainly NOT and I don't know anything.
