Thank you very much to all parents who handed in the tear-off slip with their comments regarding transition to Primary 1. Mrs Stanners has used these to plan the transition activities for our pre-school children.

In order to ensure all pre-school children have the opportunity to take part in transition activities, Mrs Stanners and Miss Wright are currently working with four groups of children. These take place on Monday afternoon, Tuesday morning, Thursday morning and Friday afternoon.

All pre-school children have now started their transition. During the first week (20.2.17), Mrs Stanners and Miss Wright spoke to children about going to school and children had the opportunity to ask questions and share what they already know about school. Last week (27.2.17) the children went for a walk around the school and had a chance to meet some of the school staff including the Headteacher, Miss Henderson, and the Depute Headteacher, Mr Horsburgh. This week (6.3.17) the children visited the playground, were shown the areas they are able to play in at playtime and lunchtime and talked about some playground rules.

Soon parents/carers will receive a piece of paper which gives details of how their child coped with certain activities. All children may not be able to participate in every activity, however, we will try to ensure that they participate in as many as possible.

If you would like more information on transition from Nursery to Primary 1, please see Mrs Stanners.
