Primary 1 Transition
Having a child starting Primary 1 is an exciting time for a family. At Ravenswood Primary we have a robust transition programme designed to support both child and parents to enjoy this experience together.
Following enrolments in January we will identify the teacher who will be receiving the new P1 pupils. In January our P5 pupils are invited to apply for a position as a ‘buddy’ for a new P1 pupil. They are interviewed and the successful applicants receive training on how to carry out their role to the best of their ability. Once trained each P5 pupil is paired with a nursery pupil.
In February, Miss Robertson (Principal Teacher P1-3) visits all children who will be joining us in August. Miss Robertson will have the chance to talk with nursery staff and work with each child in their nursery environment. From March, children and their families are invited to several ‘Stay and Play’ sessions where children can play in their new classroom, meet new classmates and get to know their teachers.
From April, children are invited to attend several independent visits where they will have the opportunity to work and play as a class with their new teachers. In June, families are invited to our induction morning, where parents/carers will receive all the necessary information from Miss Robertson about life in Primary 1, while children play in their classroom. Then parents and children come together for their first lunch in our cafeteria.
