They enjoyed fun activities like storytime, arts and crafts, and playing games together. It was wonderful to see their big smiles and hear their laughter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our older students helped by showing them around and sharing tips on how to have fun and learn at school. Transition Day is all about making new children feel welcome and confident, and we can\u2019t wait to see them all again when they start officially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Welcome to our school Kaiden and
