Your child will also be invited to visit the Primary One classroom usually around May/June time. This allows the children to begin to get to know their classmates and their teacher as well as familiarising themselves with the school buildings and classroom routines.
Induction Meetings/Events
Induction Meetings/Events
Induction meetings are arranged for parents around May/June in order to share information about starting school and how you can help your child at home. This is also an opportunity for parents to meet their child’s teacher and to ask any questions or share any information. At these induction meetings, parents are issued with a range of materials designed to support children’s learning at home and parents are asked to complete a range of forms to gather information about e.g. your child’s medical needs, contact addresses, special needs etc
Buddies
Buddies
To help ease the transition from nursery into Primary 1 we have a dedicated buddy system with our Primary 7's. This begins in Term 4 before their transition into Primary 1. Dedicated time is timetables to allow the pupils to bond and get to know each other.
Once our nursery pupils have moved up to Primary 1 our Primary 7 pupils continue to support and bond with them by helping to get them ready for play time, eat with them during lunch times and play with them outdoors.
This is a voluntary programme for the Primary 7's and helps to promote responsibility,
