Children who continue on to the Saint Kentigern Schools will be fully involved in a comprehensive ‘Transition to School’ programme.
This takes place the term before they are due to start school.
Children involved in this programme will be taken for regular visits to either Saint Kentigern Girls’ or Boys’ School to spend time in the class they will be starting in.
Participation in all areas of school life will be covered over the term including reading and writing programmes, maths, music, PE and sport lessons, Chapel service, assembly and specialist classes so that when they start school they will know what to expect
Activities include: phonics – letter sounds; early literacy – recognition and recognition and formation of numbers; co-formation of letters; early numeracy - operative group games; science experiments; cooking; maths and language games and other varying activities each day.
Concentration and remaining focussed on a task with independent work is encouraged.
