Well done to Primary 6 who today presented to Primary 5 to explain what life has been like for them as Primary 6 pupils! They worked in teams to use resources, discuss, brainstorm and collect ideas, before planning their presentations. They presented on the expectations, routines, responsibilities, learning experiences and ‘magic moments’ of Primary 6. By doing this, P6 were learning to help encourage learning and confidence in our P5 children, as well as supporting them as they prepare for their next stage at school. The children from Primary 5 were all very interested and asked lots of questions about life in Primary 6! Well done P6, it was a really excellent presentation.
Tonight we welcomed our new P1 families to find out more about life at PUSCPS and in P1.

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.
It’s that time of year when we start thinking about moving on. Our Primary 7 and pre-school children have already started their transition journey over the past few weeks and months.
Transition Challenge
As part of Health Week, P1 – P7 have been set a transition challenge to teach the new children coming into their stage about their learning, achievements and events this year.
Here is an example of the P7 challenge:
Here are the P6s hard work completing the challenge:
Watch this space for the final results!
Moving up MorningÂ
On the 19th June we will have our moving up afternoon when our children will have the opportunity to meet their new teachers.
Class Structure
Currently our class structure for next session is:
*This is our current structure, however we are still awaiting our final numbers for Primary 1, so this may be subject to change if our numbers increase.Â
Have a look at our Nursery to Primary 1 Transition Sway. It gives your child lots of information about the school, including their P1 classroom and some of the people they will meet.
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.

Learning together:
The pupils will get to experience what learning is like in a P1 environment and to meet their P7 ‘buddy’. They will have the opportunity to experience this at four different points over June and you are invited to bring your child along to any/all of them.
We look forward to meeting you all.
