Transition Week 4
This week we have a slide show of our Room 1 and Room 2 classes for you to look at. These are the classes where our Primary 1 children usually are. Please have a look and talk about them.
The Nursery children have visited room 1 so they should recognise this class. We have been talking about what things are in Primary 1 and nursery, maybe they can tell you some of them.
