Roslin School New Primary 1 Intake Transition Meetings
Parent/Carer and Pupil Drop-In to P1
Wednesday 6 June 2018, 11.40am to 12.25pm
As part of their transition to P1, there are two visits arranged for children commencing in August. The first one is a short drop-in on Wednesday 6 June, between 11.40am and 12.25pm. This is an opportunity for you, or a carer, and your child to spend some time in the P1 class and meet the teacher. You are welcome to arrive at a time that suits you from 11.40am onwards and to stay as long as you wish up until 12.25pm. We hope these open timings will accommodate pupils attending our morning and afternoon nurseries as well as those from other early year’s centres.
Children who attend Roslin Nursery that morning can be collected by you/carer from the nursery and taken to the P1 class from 11.40am.
If your child is attending Roslin Nursery that afternoon you or a carer, may bring him/her to the P1 class between 11.40am and 12.25pm.
If your child attends a private nursery you, a carer or a member of your private nursery’s staff is welcome to bring your child for the visit; please liaise with your child’s nursery to arrange this.
Pupil Visit to P1 and Parent/Carer Meeting
Thursday 7 June 2018 – Pupils 9.15am to 11.40am / Adults 9.15am to 10.15am
Whilst the children are meeting with their new teacher and classmates, parents/carers or representatives will go through to the hall for an induction meeting, where you will find out more about how the P1 class operates. Once your child has been brought into class, you will have a meeting in the hall, after which you may leave for a short while and then come back for your child at 11.40am, see schedule below:
9.15am: Please arrive with your child at the P1 door in the infant playground, where the class teacher will bring everyone in. After bringing your child into the class area, make your way through to the hall for 9.25am. The parent/carer meeting will finish at 10.15am approximately. Children should be collected at 11.40am, from the P1 exit door and the children will be brought out to meet you; please wait for them there so that we can practise the departure routine with the children. Refreshments will be available in the hall if you would prefer to wait at school until your child is dismissed at 11.40am.
If your child attends Roslin Nursery morning class you may drop off your child from 8.30am as normal and collect them at 9.10am to take them to the P1 door. However, if you prefer, you may bring your child directly from home to the P1 door at 9.15am. Please inform nursery staff of your decision in advance.
Note: please provide your child with a small snack and drink for morning break. The children should not bring drinks in cans or glass bottles. There are drinking fountains in the class areas but you may wish to provide, eg. a small carton of fruit juice, milk or flavoured water.
