Topsy and Tim were excited about their first day at school, meeting friends and enjoying lots of activities. What are you looking forward to?
Topsy and Tim had a smart new blue and white school uniform. Our school uniform is yellow and black. Can you draw a picture of what you will be wearing on your first day in Primary 1?
We would love to see your pictures!
We hope you are enjoying the transition tasks so far – it has been lovely to see and hear about some of the activities you have been doing based around the stories we have shared so far 🙂
This week is another story for you. It’s called ‘Charlie and Lola – I am too absolutely small for school’. Please see details below for the story and a suggested activity.
Week 4 Transition Task – Charlie and Lola – I’m Too Absolutely Small For School
Hi everyone, here is your next transition activity. It is all to do with the story book ‘Charlie and Lola – I Am Too Absolutely Small for School’. If you have the book at home, then ask someone in your family to read it to you. If you don’t have it, click on the link below to hear the story.

Lola is a bit of a fussy eater so is not very sure about lunchtimes! Do you think you will try a school dinner, or take your own packed lunch?
Here is a little task for you. Can you plan and prepare a healthy packed lunch that you might want to take to school? You could do this by drawing it, or you could actually make up a packed lunch and eat it at home or in your garden!
Feel free to take some pictures and send them into us. Have fun!
The days of the week are mentioned in the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The link below leads to a Days of the Week song we sing in Primary 1. Your child might like to watch it, learn it or sing along 🙂

While Primary 1 children were out on their trip last week, we had a last minute opportunity to take some pre-school children up to the primary 1 class for a visit. They enjoyed playing in the classroom and listening to a story being read by Mrs Donnelly.
The transition for pre-school children will be happening in the next few weeks. Please check the parents board in the cloakroom for more details.

Primary 1 Information Meeting for Parents/Carers
We are looking forward to welcoming our pre-school parents/carers to our school on Tuesday 28th May at 6.00pm. We are delighted that your child will be starting Primary 1 at East Calder Primary in August. We hope that our Information Evening will provide you with all the information you require and that any questions you have will be answered.
Our Information Evening will begin with a presentation which will outline the arrangements for your child starting Primary 1 in August. It will also give you some practical ideas about how you can help your child get ready for the transition to school. Following the presentation there will be an opportunity for parents/carers to visit the P1 classrooms and meet the Primary 1 teachers. For anyone who would like it, there will also be an opportunity to have a tour of the school.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday evening!
