If you missed our new starter supplement in Tuesday's paper, here is a chance to see your little ones in their first photos.
The Class of 2018 features the photos of those entering Reception in schools across Southend, Rochford, Castle Point and Basildon.
Every school was contacted to see if they wanted to take part in the photos.
You can still buy the photos at echo-news.co.uk/classof2018
