Perfect for getting year 11 students ready for COLLEGE or APPRENTICESHIPS.
Includes everything from a one page profile that can be given to their next tutor, setting goals for the future, route planning, applying for bursaries, how to make new** friends**, how to deal with** problems** that might occur and study skills that will support their learning amongst other topics.
Everything your students will need to help them get their head and life in order for post 16 study. (This one includes application forms for bursaries for Bath College but this can be amended to your local college/s).
Ideal to set for remote learning for PSHE, Careers or pastoral support.
PDF, Publisher and Word files included.
Resources for a class display, ideal for transition day activities.
Each child writes their name on the crayon and draws their picture in the circle. They then colour in the crayon. All are then laminated, lined up on 3/4 rows and placed together as though they were in a box. They can also be curved and stapled down to give a 3D effect. Add a section at the bottom to make the crayon box (this can be flat but ideally would be 3D).
Print the ‘Crayon Display Text’ (you can choose either the outlined version or filled). Ensure it is printed in A3 and add to your box.
I have created this resource to support the transition from Year 6 to Year 7.
It is an activity booklet designed for children to complete independently perhaps as part of their home learning and give them an opportunity to share any worries with adults.
The booklet includes 15 pages of advice and activities and focuses on the key skills they will need during their transition. It also gives children the opportunity to manage their feelings. Activities include Organisation, skills and attributes, making friends, planning your journey to school and timetable reading.
I’ve included both the editable Word document and a PDF for printing.
