Denny Cluster P1 Transition #HungryforP1

Six primary school ELC centres, two stand alone ELC centres and all seven primary schools worked together to plan and co-ordinate a cluster wide transition project to engage all staff, pupils and families in effective transition. Head of Muir PS ELC, Antonine PS ELC, Denny PS ELC, Nethermains PS ELC, Dunipace PS ELC, Bankier PS ELC, Bonnybridge PS,  Bonnypark ELC Centre and Myot View ELC Centre were the dynamic team. The core transition leadership team met to plan and prepare a project which would capture the children's interests, excite them about their move to Primary 1 and engage families with the project. Each setting then shared information with families and encouraged them to join in with transition activities. This theme was used as the basis of transition learning and discussions with pupils to talk about change/moving on and celebrating this as a positive step for all pupils. All pupils, no matter which ELC they attend or which school they will transition to, will have played an active role in the project and have a familiar theme for their journey in Primary 1 for August 2021.
