Hello Primary 7,
Although times are different and we are not spending the final few weeks of Primary 7 as we normally would, we can still work on some tasks that we would have been doing in school. I have put together a selection of tasks related to your transition to secondary school and you can work away on these this week.
1 – Top Tips for Secondary School
Read this document: https://glowscotland-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/ddspaton810_glow_sch_uk/EZ3C8qAa2AhLoT07pYgzRnQB25sgZSPd-RJyr6xBHpfLww?e=Sg26Qf
TASK – Using your knowledge and experience of being a Primary 7 and being a buddy and a prefect, can you create a similar ‘top tips’ for the new Primary 7’s – these can be shared with them in August when they start P7.
Think about how you felt when you started P7, the achievements you have made and challenges you have overcome, what words of wisdom would you share?
This can be done in any format you wish – on paper, a word document, a PowerPoint, a video, you can be as creative as you wish! Please email me with your finished Top Tips for P7 🙂
2 – Travelling to your new school
Think about how you will travel to your new school.
- If you will take a bus to school, have a look at bus timetables and plan your journey. Dundee Bus Timetables: https://nxbus.co.uk/routes/dundee/
- If you will walk to school, plan your route and if possible maybe you can walk the actual journey beforehand.
- If you will be getting a lift to school, find out from whoever will be dropping you off what time you will need to leave the house.
- If you will be travelling home by a different method than in the morning, plan this too.
3 – New Home
Check out your new home! Look at the website of the secondary school you are going to, find the following:
- School Handbook
- Uniform
- Extra Curricular Clubs and Activities

4 – Transition Workbook
Complete this Transition Workbook which has various tasks and activities – you do not need to print it, you can write things down in a jotter or on paper. You could also download it and save your own copy and then edit it with your answers. (Please note that slide 7 has a timetable with questions to answer, this is not your actual timetable!)
