School Transition Incursion
Children journey along with Seal as she goes to Big School for her Transition Day to discover a big world of timetables and activities.
Seal is so excited and just a bit nervous for this special Day. What if she gets lost? What is no one wants to be her friend?
During role call and Show & Tell she meets her new friends at Wild Primary. Together with her buddies, Seal discovers all about taking turns and managing her worries about Big School.
She discovers the fun involved in friendship groups and the joy of learning and not giving up.
Each student will use a puppet in this engaging and active incursion to role play their part in Seal’s first day of school practice. It’s the perfect incursion for transition to school questions and answers and to learn the skills to cope with excitement and worries.
How does it work?
One of our amazing drama teachers will visit your centre, bringing along 30 puppets—one for each child preparing to start school next year.
Every child gets to bring two different puppet characters to life as they become part of the engaging story of Seal going to school. This immersive experience allows them to fully connect with the story in a fun and meaningful way.
