Transition Week 5

Hello Everyone,

Information

This week we have photos of our awesome Buddies. We will continue to work with our Buddies next year when we move into Primary 1.  Have a look through them and see if you can recognise anyone.

Our Buddies

Challenge

Do you know the letter sounds in your name?

This week we would like you to find objects that have the same letter sounds as the ones in your name.

 

If you do not know all your letter sounds that is okay. Just find items for the ones you do know.

Example.

Name Sam – Straw, Apple, Monkey

Or Strawberry, Slipper, Sock

 

Question

I am looking forward to or excited about??

 

This can be anything you think will happen at Primary1 or in the school. If you’re grown up writes down what you say and can post it on your ILD or emails them to the nursery staff.

 

As always, we would love to see photos or videos of the challenge being completed.

Hello Everyone,

Information

This week we have the photos of our really helpful Office Staff. Most of you will know Mrs Douglas in the office already. The Office staff help everybody in school.

Our Office Team

I would also like to tell you about our Dinner Ladies. They work in the school kitchens and cook lunch for all the boys and girls. They are really friendly and always have a smile. It makes them really happy when the children remember to say please and thank you!

Challenge

When you go to school most children have either a school dinner or a packed lunch to eat at lunch time. You also get to take a healthy snack for playtime!

This week’s challenge is for you to be able to open up a packet or a container. For example:

  • yogurt pot;
  • bag of fruit;
  • small plastic container/tub (that you would find in a packed lunch box)

Can you also drink out of an ‘open’ cup one with no lid.

Question

I am a bit worried about?

This can be anything you are not sure about Primary 1. If you’re grown up writes any worries you have down and posts them on your ILD or emails them to nursery staff we will be able to answer your questions.

As always we would love to see photos or videos of the challenge being completed.

(Here is a hint for completing it– have a packed lunch outside!)
