Last week Primary 1 and Primary 2/1 worked together to prepare a presentation for the Nursery children who are coming into P1 in August.
The first part of our challenge was to discuss what we thought the Nursery children most needed to know about being in Primary 1. There were lots of ideas and suggestions put forward and here are a few of our suggestions:
“To be confident and make new friends.” (Grace)
“You need to be kind to each other.” (William)
“Sitting still, looking at the teacher, lips closed and open ears.” (Cayla)
“Do your own work.” (Lacey)
“Don’t push. Use gentle hands and feet.” (Jake)
Next, we organised these ideas under the headings of routines, rules and expectations, learning, playing in the playground and friendship. We took photographs to include in the presentation because they helped to demonstrate some of our ideas.
When the Nursery children came over, we took turns to talk to them. The Nursery boys and girls listened very well, and at the end, they asked some good questions which we tried hard to answer.
We are looking forward to working with and playing with the Nursery children when they become our new Primary 1 classes.
