TRANSITION SESSIONS
The Kowhai class has been running a transition to school programme for two years now where children starting school in the coming year and their parents are invited to come to the Kowhai classroom on a fortnightly basis for an afternoon session. Those attending are welcome to stay for the rest of the afternoon. You will need to bring lunch, sunhat and a change of clothing.
Children will take part in a range of activities that will prepare them for school. This will help them to adjust to life at Clutha Valley Primary School so they can become familiar with the school surroundings, children and staff. For further information please contact rebecca@cluthavalley.school.nz
Our last transition session for Term One, 2014 is: Wednesday 9 April 2014, 12.30pm to 3pm
Term 2 transition dates are:
Wednesday 7 May 12.30-3pm Wednesday 21 May 12.30-3pm Wednesday 4 June 12.30-3pm Wednesday 18 June 12.30-3pm Wednesday 2 July 12.30-3pm.
