Throughout their nursery experience children at Balmullo Nursery are building towards the transition into school. Regular experiences around the school – borrowing from the school library, using the water cooler, collecting resources, using the gym hall, attending and participating in school events- all help the children become familiar with, and comfortable within, the school environment. Throughout these experiences the children are made to feel welcome and interact with the wider school staff and pupils.

This month the children starting Primary 1 have had the opportunity to engage with a range of activities thinking about the next stage in their learning journey.

The children shared information with Mrs MacPherson who will be their Primary 1 teacher.  They shares their likes, dislikes and family life.  Thank you for all the drawings and great self portraits. Mrs MacPherson can’t wait to see you all!

The children have also been building relationships their Primary 6 buddies by sending and receiving letters- sharing hobbies, describing pets, favourite foods, characters and colours. Thank you for all the care and thought put into your letters – great work!

The pre-school nursery children and Primary 1/2 class shared a joint  transition project- making puppets, storytelling and performing.

 

Mrs Dunnett, Mrs Duncan and Mrs MacPherson have all been delighted and entertained by the wide variety of resources used to make the puppets and the creative stories performed. Well done everyone – there will be an opportunity to see a collection of the work in the future.
