Transition 4

The children were so relaxed, calm and happy as they came to the p1/2 classroom on Friday. They loved being with the other children who will be next years primary 2’s.

They enjoyed the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff and then had the challenge of building a bridge for the goats to get over the river. The children worked in pairs and did a great job of problem solving, collaborating and staying focused.

it was then time to paint some nasty looking trolls and make goats using craft materials.

These will be on display in the classroom for after the holidays when the children come in for their first day of Primary One.

There was also time to explore the classroom and get familiar with where everything is- coat pegs, toilets etc. it was lovely to see how the older and younger children mixed and played together so well.

They were great at washing hands before setting off to the dining hall for lunch. They were great at saying please and thankyou to the cooks and ate up their fish and chips or pinwheels well.

The children were very excited to visit the classroom today. They came in the porch entrance and saw where their coats, bags and homework will go. They checked out the toilets and then came in to class for an explore.

They were all very happy and engaged and keen to chat. They met Miss Baronet which was lovely too.

A few children did a little Show and Tell to the group and everyone was very good at listening and taking turns.

Transition 2

When the children came off the bus we went around to a lovely sunny area to go over their first activity. They listened really well and were keen to get going.

They set off on a scavenger hunt to help me find and get back my treasure! They were brilliant at helping each other once they had ticked all their own boxes.

They were so happy when the treasure had been found!

The children then learned about the Zone Area which we use in primary one for our outdoor play and were keen to explore.

There was time for a quick Kims game before snacktime. The children were really good at listening and following instructions.

it was such a lovely day we stayed amongst the trees in our Zone for snack.

I shall add more photos asap

 

 

Transition 1

On the 8th of May I met with the children who will be coming into primary one after the summer holidays. It was great to meet them and they were all so great at listening and sustaining focus while I was with them.

They listened to a made up story of adventures which included meeting giants, fairies, goblins, mermaids and being given ‘treasures’ during this journey. They joined in with a little song and rhyme and practised some new vocabulary and investigated the gems and tresures from the box.

Unfortunately I can’t get the photos to load onto the Blog at the moment. I will see if I can get this issue with Glow sorted,
