Goodbye, Kindergarten! I’m Starting School Soon

Hooray, school is starting soon!

The ‘big kids’ at Helter-Skelter Kindergarten will soon be saying goodbye! But there’s lots to fit in before then – like the outing to a police station, where Elif and Linus get to sit in a real police car, and the sleepover party at kindergarten where the children play hide-and-seek in the dark. And then the first day at school is finally here. The children have butterflies in their tummies. All kitted out with their rucksacks and book bags, it’s off to school they go. Is everyone else feeling just as nervous and excited? On the second day at school, Hugo wonders where the toilet is. And what happens at after-school club. One thing is for certain: school going to be anything but boring!
