Welcome from Mrs MacPhee, our Headteacher
P1 Transition Project - 'All Are Welcome'
Our transition project will be emailed to all nurseries. The context for this topic will be based around the book 'All Are Welcome'. The project will be started in nursery, there will also be a wee activity for parents to do with their child over the summer holiday and it will then be carried on and completed in the first weeks of Primary One. This will help them make those all important nursery/home and school links.
The activity for families to complete at home over the summer will be given to you at the P1 Parents' Induction Evening in June.
Take a look at our 'All Are Welcome' video
