The children who will be moving on to Primary 1 at Hecklegirth in August have been getting to know their buddies better recently. This week they enjoyed some visits to the playground to help prepare them for the transition to school. Primary 1 very kindly took the children out to the playground when it was empty and then they joined in a playtime with the rest of the school to help build their confidence. On both occasions the children’s buddies looked after them, making sure that they were confident and happy. As you can see from the photos, they even helped them to line up when the bell rang just like they will do in Primary 1.
\nI think you can see from the smiles on their faces that the relationships between the buddies and the future Primary 1 children are developing very well. Thank you to Primary 1 for looking after Nursery and thank you to all the buddies who did such a brilliant job at looking after their new little friends. The children were very excited about their visits to the playground so hopefully we will be able to arrange more visits soon.
