ELC – P1 Transition at Raigmore Primary 2021At Raigmore Primary School we pride ourselves on starting transition into Primary 1 as soon as the children start the last year in the ELC. Our Prinicpal Teacher, Kelly MacBean, creates a timetable of experiences and opportunities for the ELC children to engage with, from visiting the Primary 1 classrooms to Mrs MacBean and the other P1 Class Teachers visiting the ELC setting regulalry to familiarise themselves with the children coming up and for the children to get to know them. It has proved extremely successful and we feel that from this fantastic transition we have in place the move from the ELC to P1 has been smoother for the children and their families. During the first lockdown transition has not been the same but in no way has it been any less. The infant staff excelled in ensuring that our new P1s did not miss out. A transition google classroom was created and all children enroled in Raigmore were invited to join. Opportunities were given to encourage independence and the sharing of photos was suggested. Our engagement from the families was fantastic and the Early Years staff regularly met with the new P1s to ensure they got to know them. When school started back in August, we had EYPs from our own ELC work in the P1 classrooms so as there was continuity and familiarity for our new P1s. It was a great success.Now, with a second lockdown during a time when our transition is in full flow, the Early Years staff have not let this stop them coming up with new and fun ways of engaging with our new set of P1s starting August 2021. Our Early Years staff all have Interactive Classrooms for their children, these have proved extremely successful and helped the younger children become more independent at navigating the activities and information that can be accessed through the google classroom.-762009144000Mrs MacBean decided to create a transition virtual classroom for our new P1s and it is already proving to be hugely successful with the children and the families. On the first page, Mrs MacBean has included a video of herself explaining how to navigate our transition classroom and videos and photographs of the school grounds and buildings. 33210505715000The next page, is introducing the P1 class teachers and Senior Management Team where the children can click on a link which takes them to a video of that particluar staff member introducing themselves. 0108648500On the third page, there are lots of pictures of books with links attached to access a video of one of the staff members reading that book.We at Raigmore are so proud to celebrate the effort and commitment that the P1 staff have already shown in ensuring that even in lockdown our new P1s will not miss out on transition and getting to know Raigmore Primary School and the staff that work here. An amazing job by all! ................
