The school year is almost over and across Victoria all students moved up a grade for the day as part of Transition Day.

Students got a chance to experience ‘A Day in the Life’ in the grade they will be moving to in 2015, as well as meet their new teacher.

I am very excited to be moving to Year 6 in 2015 and I had a great day with the class that I will be teaching next year. It will be sad to say goodbye to the class I had this year, but who knows, maybe I will teach them again in the future.

One of the activities we did on Transition Day was to prepare for working with the new Prep Students. We have a buddy system at our school where the Year 6 students help the new Prep students become familiar with ‘big school’ and help them feel safe and secure.

The Year 6 students made a Christmas card for their buddy which they delivered at recess time. They then sat and ate with them and then helped them in the playground. The Year 6 students were a great help and made the new Prep students feel very welcome.
