Transition is both an exciting and challenging time for pupils, whether that be to a new year group or new school. Preparing children for the change that is coming is important, as is getting to know your new class ahead of them starting with you in September.
We've put together a range of activities to help pupils get ready for the next year. Our new school year collection of resources contains a range of writing projects, paint projects and activities that all pupils can use, but you might want to choose activities based on the age of the pupils:
We have put together a series of activities to help pupils get prepared for the move to Secondary School. Each activity in our new topic pack Transition to Secondary gives pupils the space to gather their thoughts and write them down. We recommend that they save each activity and come back to it regularly, taking time to reflect on what they have written and where possible share with friends and family.
In addition to these resources, we're also giving teachers a free downloadable pack of transition resources aimed at Year 6 pupils. The pack uses resources from Dot Com Digital and covers the following topics:
The topics included cover a range of emerging threats and safety situations. The sessions in this pack are a sample of what is available in the free version of Dot Com Digital. They contain teacher guidance, resources, aims and success criteria for each session.
We hope that these activities help your pupils get ready for next year ahead and we would love to see any of the work that you complete. You can share on Twitter @2SimpleSoftware or @PurpleMash, or on Facebook @2SimpleUK.
