Starting school is an exciting milestone for children and families. This video and accompanying leaflet have been developed by the West Partnership Early Years Specialist Network.
They help explain why play remains an important part of learning in Primary 1 and outline what parents and carers can expect as their child begins school.
The leaflet and short film can be used by schools and early years centres as part of transition planning, parent workshops, family engagement activities, and discussions about play-based learning.
