N-P1 Transition Task
N-P1 Transition Task – Final Week
It was lovely to meet many of you last week for our P1 Transition Visits 🙂 We hope you enjoyed spending some time in your classroom and meeting your teacher.
Please see information and links below for this weeks transition activities. These are the last transition activities before the Summer holidays.
The story this week is called ‘The Rainbow Fish’ by Marcus Pfister.
At the beginning of the story, the rainbow fish doesn’t have very many friends but by the end of the story, he has learned to share and has lots of friends.
Can you draw a picture of one of your friends? Can you write your name and their name too?
You could try drawing a picture of the beautiful rainbow fish or if you have paints at home you could use them to make a finger painting. Maybe you could cut shiny materials or pages from an old magazine and stick them onto paper in the shape of a fish.
Please click on the link below to listen to the story of ‘The Rainbow Fish’. We hope you enjoy it 🙂
The rainbow fish has so many colours! The link below is a favourite song of ours in Primary 1. How many colours do you know? We hope you enjoy the song.

NURSERY – Parents Evening Appointments
Nursery Parents Evenings – Wednesday 9th & Thursday 10th October
Parents Evening Appointments will be offered to all parent/carers of preschool children in our nursery. More information will be out shortly about how to book an appointment with your child’s key worker.
Many of our younger children (anti-preschool children) have just joined our nursery or will be joining over the next few weeks. We would like them to get time to settle in to the nursery environment and routines before we offer a Parents Evening appointment for them. Therefore, parents/carers of our anti-preschool children will be given an opportunity to discuss their child’s progress later on in the term. More information about this will be given in November.
