Transition to P1 Project 2024
Parent/Carer Information
Welcome to Toryglen Primary Virtual Classroom
Rationale
Transitions are the moves children and young people make from nursery to school, from stage to stage and through Curriculum for Excellence levels. Transitions are part of everyone’s life. When transitions work well, they help children and young people to develop confidence and acquire skills to manage future changes in their lives. For some children transitions can be challenging and support from parents and school staff can help the transitions go more smoothly. School staff will work closely with nursery staff and parents to ensure that information about each child’s learning and achievements are passed on. Moreover, at Toryglen, parents, partner nurseries and school staff will work collaboratively on a transition project based on the ‘Colour Monster Goes to School’ to support the wellbeing of all children transitioning into Primary 1 at Toryglen Primary. This will help ensure that their learning and development continues without interruption. It helps children at all transition stages if staff and parents:
- Talk with them about what is going to happen
- Encourage them to talk about any concerns or anxieties
- Listen carefully to their concerns and consider sharing them with other relevant people
- Help them become familiar with the new setting and what will be expected of them.
