Webinar: Supporting the Transition to P1 with Bookbug
Zoom, Zoom, Zoom we're starting P1 soon! Our Early Years trainers are joined by Education Support Officer Jacqui O'Donnell to share ideas and tips on being creative with nursery songs and rhymes to support children and families during periods of transition and change.
We explore the Bookbug Transition Session plan and offer practical examples of using the plan to support an inclusive approach to transitions, and encourage collaborative working, partnerships and consistency.
