I had such a lovely time this morning meeting some of the children  in the Primary 1 garden. We read The Colour Monster Goes to School together, as a fun and friendly way to explore the feelings that children may be having about this big change.

After the story, the children had lots of fun discovering the Primary one garden space. I can’t wait to meet the rest of the children at our second garden session on Thursday 7th June. Hopefully we will be just as lucky with the weather!

 

Until then, the children will continue to explore the Colour Monster in nursery. You can join in at home by watching this video of The Colour Monster Goes to School, which we will read together every time we meet.

Why not have a go at drawing or painting a monster that shows how you are feeling about starting school? Here are some ideas the children made today.

 

We thought some of the Colour Monster’s ideas about what to put in his schoolbag were very silly and funny! What do you think you should bring to school? Why not have a go at packing a bag yourself?

I’d love to see your drawings and ideas – you can post replies to this blog or email photos and videos to the school or nursery address.
