Transition to P1

Why are Transitions Important?
Transition is what we call it when a child moves from one thing to another. There are lots of little transitions during the day, getting dressed, turning the television off, putting jackets on to go outside, all parents know that some transition are easier than others! Other transitions are bigger, for example starting a new nursery or school. All children need help to prepare them for transition.

In addition to this, our final term of planning in the nursery will be centred on the Julia Donaldson book, The Everywhere Bear. The boys and girls will use this as a stimulus for learning and you’ll be pleased to know you will even get a very special visit from the bear too. (Please note the bears will be sanitised before and after visiting each household). We will document all of the ‘adventures’ that the Everywhere Bear takes. These ‘adventures’ will continue over the Summer Holidays and appear on Teams for you to discuss with your child to keep the connection going with the P1 teachers. When your child starts school in August the journey of the Everywhere Bear from Nursery-P1 will be reviewed with their classmates.

Here is a link to the Everywhere Bear Story to allow you to familiarise yourself with it.
