P7 transition summer program- St Mungo’s library activity

 

As part of our summer transition program for future S1 pupils, St Mungo’s library organised a day filled with exciting activities. The highlight of the day was an engaging vision board creation session, where pupils crafted their own personalised vision boards.

This activity encouraged creativity, goal-setting, and self-expression, providing a fun and meaningful way for pupils to visualise their aspirations for the upcoming school year.

P7 transition day @St Mungo’s library

St. Mungo’s Academy recently organized an Olympic Games sports day for our upcoming S1 pupils.

The P7 pupils were divided into groups, allowing them to enjoy a day filled with sports and fun while also exploring the various departments within the school. This event provided a great opportunity for them to familiarize themselves with the school’s environment and offerings.

Our current BGE pupils played a significant role in preparing for the event by readying the library. They showcased their creativity and research skills by designing an impressive Olympic Games display. This display featured renowned athletes, as well as books and movies about the Olympic Games, adding an educational dimension to the sports day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the day of the event, the library hosted a yoga session. The session began with a brief introduction to the library, followed by a discussion on the similarities between reading and yoga. The pupils shared insightful thoughts, noting that both reading and yoga are:

– Relaxing
– Stress-relieving
– Stimulating for creativity and imagination
– Helpful for focus
– Promoters of awareness
– Influential on emotions

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Following the discussion, the pupils enjoyed a yoga memory game and participated in animal yoga poses, adding a playful element to the session. This combination of physical activity and intellectual engagement made for a well-rounded and enjoyable day for all participants.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This event was also beneficial for the library, as it highlighted the library’s role as a versatile space for both educational and recreational activities, encouraging more pupils to utilize its resources and see it as an integral part of their school experience.

Summer reminiscing- St Mungo’s Academy

As fall settles in and the air turns crisp, with leaves changing colours, I find myself reminiscing about summertime. It takes me back to when the St. Mungo’s library was a part of the P7 transition program.

We had an amazing time welcoming our future S1 pupils and engaging them in some exciting library activities. The games and interactive “get to know each other” exercises were incredibly successful in fostering a strong bond among these young learners. It’s truly inspiring to witness how simple activities can create a positive and inclusive environment for everyone involved.

During their second day, our future S1 had an amazing opportunity to create their own vision board. Some young people had never been given the opportunity to dream beyond the limitations imposed by their social backgrounds. This activity provided them a chance to dream big, break barriers, and imagine a future that knows no bounds.

The activity was a success, as they spent the entire day in the library, completing their board and envisioning a brighter future.
