Transition
During June we would usually do a lot of debate, discussion and circle time based on your transition to your new schools. Moving schools can give you a contrast in emotions – it can be exciting, but also scary at the same time.
In your work packs, there is a ‘Moving On’ booklet that has been put together by The Net. It is available to download below. The PowerPoints below goes along with the booklet. You should work through it this week. Perhaps an adult could sit with you and help you discuss the issues in the booklet? The PowerPoints below can be used alongside the 'Moving On' activities.
If you have any questions about anything in your transition booklet please just let us know.
Many thanks to James and Steph from The Net for making their resources available to us.
Moving On PowerPoints
Use the following PowerPoints to help you complete your 'Moving On' booklet. (we are having issues with some features of these PowerPoints e.g. sounds and movie clips. We hope to have them fixed asap).
