Nursery to Primary 1 Transition

We have organised a range of events to ensure a smooth transition for your child into Primary 1. As your child is a currently enrolled as part of our nursery, most of these events will naturally happen and you do not need to make any extra arrangements.

Learning together

For this opportunity the pupils will be spilt into groups depending on whether they are a morning or afternoon child. They will get to experience what learning is like in a P1 environment. They will experience this at three different points over May and June, including a playground session, allowing them to experience the playground.

Assemblies:

Children will have the opportunity to join us with our whole school assemblies at different points during the term.

Buddy Visits:

Their buddy is a P6 child who has been matched with your child to support them during transition and to help them find their way around the school. We have organised for their buddy to visit the nursery three times before the end of this school year.

P1 Induction Evening – Meet the Teacher (for parents):

On Tuesday 5th June at 6pm we would like to invite parents/ carers along to find out about what learning and routines are like in P1. You will also receive all your enrolment and order forms at this time and have a chance to visit the P1 classrooms.

Meet the Teacher (for pupils) and Dine Together:

On Tuesday 19th June at 11:00-12pm we invite all our pre-school pupils to meet their new teacher and class. During this time you are invited to stay for tea and coffee and get to know the other P1 parents. If your child is currently in the morning Nursery we will take them over to their P1 classroom. If they are currently an afternoon child you will have to make arrangements for them to be at school by 11am. Following this you will have the opportunity to sample a school lunch with your child (from 12:00pm-12:30pm). A lunch order form and more information will be given out at the induction evening.

Information for NEW families to PUSCPS

P1-P7 Families Learning Together

Wednesday 16th May 3:15pm

You are invited to our final Families Learning Together session of this year.

You will have an opportunity to see some of the learning which your child has been involved in this session and to help them to set targets to improve and progress.

FLT is a great chance to spend time sharing learning with your child, talking about their progress and next steps and understanding more of what they are learning before parent appointments – any member of the family is welcome.

Your child will shortly receive a slip in their school bag, please complete the slip  and return to school so we know who to expect on the day.
