Transition 1 – 28th April

It was lovely to meet all the children today and lovely to see some of the parents too. The children were really good at listening to instructions and were very engaged with the stories and ‘treasures’.

They were great at remembering the different parts of the story and helping me with ‘beats’ in the words and coming up with ideas.

Next session the children will be helping to finish the map and hearing more about Mrs Pirate’s adventures and who she met.

I hope they all enjoyed their visit to the library and are getting excited about coming into primary one.
