Using stories and songs to support nursery to primary transition

This resource is for any practitioner supporting the nursery to Primary 1 transition. This resource will provide ideas, activities and examples of projects that can be used to support transition during this challenging time. The resource is split into three areas:

• Activities to support transition - including sharing song and rhymes, creative writing and reading
• Books for transitions - recommendations and where to find books on and offline to share
• Transition projects - examples of projects from across local authorities and individual school projects

Bookbug transition session

We have created a Bookbug session themed around the transition from nursery to Primary 1 which is available to watch here(this will open in a new window). A template to run this session can be downloaded below. You can share the recording with the families of your new Primary 1 pupils to watch over the summer, and then watch again in class over the first few weeks, or try delivering the session yourself to provide a familiar activity for all the children.
