Our pre-school children joined us along with their parents and carers this morning for a fun filled filled transition session, as they get ready to move into Primary 1.
Parents and carers met with Mr Clark in the hall for an information session about starting school, while the children were busy with some activities in the infant area.
We listened to a story called ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ where the children enjoyed joining in with all the actions and sound effects as we read! We had to wade through the long grass and splash through the river before crawling through a snowstorm and creeping through a dark cave!
We then went on our own bear hunt around the school. We found a panda bear in the school office and some brown bears in Mr Clark’s office and outside the staff room! The boys and girls found out where lots of important areas of our school are as they hunted.
We were all great at re-telling the story using some mini figures and the water, mud, grass and ‘snow’ trays!
Afterwards the children joined their parents/carers in the hall where they all enjoyed a school lunch together. Fish and Chips was on the menu and I think was enjoyed by both the children and the adults alike!
