Transition information
Meeting your new teacher.
In the last week of term each the children will meet their new teacher. Weather permitting, this is done outside, and involves a Q/A, a story and a game. This is a short transition. The main transition work goes on during the 1st 2 weeks of term, where they kids cerement old friendships, and make new ones, in their new classes, feeling secure as they are in their little 15 group, feeling excited as the re meet a new group of 15.
Starting a new class is exciting, yes a little daunting perhaps, but exciting and energising, as such the transition should be also exciting and energising.
And at the end of the road, as Year 6 prepare to transition to secondary schoool, it is our school policy that we meet with, in person, or via zoom, secondary school transition leads. A conversation offers so much more than filling in a form without any conversation.
Those secondary school teachers who lead in transition should contact the year 6 teachers, or a member of transition SLT on:
