Starting pre-school is an exciting milestone, and thoughtful planning can make all the difference.

Created by Better Start, this Transition to Preschool Tip Sheet for Early Years Educators provides practical strategies to help children and families experience a positive transition into pre-school.

From planning and partnership with parents to creating welcoming environments, using visual supports and developing social stories, the resource is full of ideas to support children as they settle into a new setting. It also signposts educators to a range of additional resources to support inclusive transition practices.

School tour Number 1 done ✔️
Morning stars and Shining stars classes went to the fabulous Leahys Open Farm on Tuesday 12th of May.
The day started with a shower of rain while we were in the bus but it cleared and we had a dry and sometimes sunny day otherwise.
We had some time in the indoor play area and a snack and drink before we set off into the farm.
We had time on the climbing frame, the maze, the big slide as well as seeing lots of animals outside. We had a spin on the mini train and met, held and fed lots more animals inside too. We finished with some well earned lunch and a nap on the bus home.
All tired but very happy. And looking forward to doing it all again next week for our other classes.

Shining stars went to the Fermoy town Library last week for Water Safety Week. We learned lots about holding hands and being safe near water. Thanks to Caroline and the staff at the Library 📚
