Our visit to the school with our buddies
On Friday 4th March our buddies walked down to nursery to join us in walking back up to school for assembly. This is our first visit to the school with our buddies as part of our transition. It was very exciting. We walked really well up to the school and sat down in the hall with all the other school children and listened to the assembly. It was about World Book Day and we got to hear about book characters and favourite stories and we sang a song. Then the grown ups came to collect us and some of them got to meet our buddies which was really nice.
Transition Programme
The transition programme for the pre school children to P1 has begun with the Primary 6 children, who will be the buddies for the children after the summer, visiting the nursery last Thursday to play with the children.
They all were having great fun and the P6 children were sad to leave. The children will visit for the next two Thursdays to continue to get to know the children.
