WHO could forget that first special day at school?
This week, to mark this landmark occasion in every child's life, The Reporter is carrying pictures of the youngest classes of autumn 2018.
For children it is a day of adventure, while parents feel a mixture of pride and nervousness.
It is certainly an occasion worth capturing on camera to look back on in the years ahead.
