Hi guys, I'm new to this forum so my first post is regarding my little 5yr old daughter who is very keen on nature and wildlife animals :).

Anyway, today was her first day in Primary school so she already has a school uniform and a new school bag which we got during the summer holidays.

We still need to find gym shoes and a warm waterproof jacket because the school didn't issue her one (we thought they would) so any suggestions would be much appreciated :).

Also, if there is anything else we need, again I would be very grateful for the advice :).
 
Welcome squid, good luck with the sprog starting school.... I can't help with suggestions but she'll probably want what her new school friends have... That tends to be the case.
 
Welcome to the forum, I wouldn't go nuts on a jacket, the wee one will grow out of it soon enough. Have you got a Go Outdoors or similar near to you, get yourselves along and try some on. Good luck with it.

Welcome Squid. Hope your little girls first day went well.
My little one is the same and she's only 3 this year. Me and the OH got her one of those all in one waterproofs from tresspass on sale at £11. They do the rain jackets the same at about £15-20 quid, or get something cheap from decathlon or the like. Used off ebay is good too. Having got older kids too I know how quick they go thru jackets and shoes, and just about everything else! I wouldn't bother with anything expensive, cheap and reliable at this age because you will be lucky if anything lasts more than a term. Once bought my son 2 jackets in a week cos he'd "lost" it, after £150 on those I learnt that its better to go cheaper in the long run.
 
We had a 5 minute meltdown this morning because she did not want to wear the jacket which we have borrowed from her friend until we get a new one and when we did eventually get it on, she then had a meltdown when the zip was getting fastened :(.
