Welcome to Pumpherston & Uphall Station Primary School. As your child is in our nursery, they will have already taken part in a range of transition activities during their pre-school year. This term we have organised some extra events to ensure a smooth transition into Primary 1, the details of which are below.
Buddy Time
During their pre-school year Primary 6 children have had weekly sessions in the nursery getting to know the nursery children. This process has allowed your child time to get to know the Primary 6 children, and has given the staff an opportunity to allocate an appropriate buddy. Your child will shortly find out who their P6 buddy will be.
Learning together:
Last term your child had the opportunity to visit the P1 classroom for play and learn sessions, this will continue this term. These sessions give your child the opportunity to experience what learning in Primary 1 will look like, meet other children and staff in the school.
Playground Pals
This term your child will have an opportunity to visit the playground at break time or lunch time to experience what they playground is like. The nursery staff have organised this in liaison with school staff allowing the visits to happen during their time at nursery.
P1 Induction Evening – Meet the Teacher (for parents):
On Tuesday 4th June at 6pm we would like to invite parents/ carers along to find out about what learning and routines are like in P1.
