Transition programme

These programmes offer a great opportunity to introduce new children to their new school and involve parents in a shared music and play session, while learning about how this supports their child’s development. The course will cover each of the songs and supporting activities, which include craft ideas for making own props and instruments, rhymes, musical and word play games.

Consisting of a single workshop or course of workshops for parent and the new school children, settings using this programme have noticed the positive impact that it has in aiding transition into school.  Every family is also given a pack that they take home. The pack consists of a CD of 18 original songs (L&S(1)) or 10 original songs (PSRN) and a booklet of notes which gives ideas for making the most of the songs and supporting activities at home. In addition supports familiarity with the music, which is then repeated in new school setting.
