Families Reading Together – 21/06/18
Transition Time – P1 & P2
As part of the Transition Challenge, Primary 2 were asked to provide information to children in P1M & P1S about what they could expect (and look forward to!) next year.
They each made little posters containing information about:
- learning in number and literacy
- topics they enjoyed learning about
- rules and expectations in Primary 2
- routines
- their ‘magic moment’ in Primary 2.
They presented their posters to a P1 buddy, answered any questions they had and then went out for a joint P1/2 outdoor play!
Thank you also to Primary 3, who made fantastic powerpoints about their experiences this year. We are definitely looking forward to next year’s adventures!
