THE first day at school is always special with parents waving goodbye to their children in the playground with tears in their eyes.
When babies are born, buying new school uniform seems like a long way off but their first day at school soon comes round.
We asked you to share photographs of your child as a baby, in their first few weeks, and also a photo of them as they start reception.
There are some lovely ones!
Here is a selection of your photos.
