An idea that came to me following on from Asri's idea is...
For New Entrant children:
Have this booklet/powerpoint done during their pre-school visits so that they can take it home with them. This would certainly help children transition into the school/class routines better and also prepare them for their digital learning in advance.
We could also possible buddy all new entrants up with a support peer (Year 4 Leader?) This way they would get to know their 'buddy' over a more sustained period and would also grow stronger relationships across the school as well?
Myra I made a google presentation draft for the first day of school record. I have emailed it to you. I really like the idea of a year 4 leader being their buddy. It makes more sense as they will still be at Vardon the following year as opposed to a year 6 who will be leaving at the end of the year. Maybe the seniors could help put the poswerpoint together or take photos?
