Easing pupils into secondary school life

I made this booklet for my year 7 students as part of their transition process and to make use of form time in a productive way. It includes quizes and ideas to get them target setting and thinking about PLTS type skills I have adapted resources from two other booklets found here on TES so a big thank you to *PSHE/Tutor Activity Booklet by vnm and *Challenge Booklet by pippylargestockings I will add to this as I update it

Great for a display for the new classroom. Ask children to fill this in on the transition day or on their first day in their new class. Available in different colours to make a very colourful display.

A colour worksheet to help any pupil changing school or class at any point throughout the year. Handy for Year 6 and Year 7 students as they prepare for and adapt to the changes involved in primary to secondary transfer, but suitable for any student changing class at any point in the year. transition, secondary transfer, primary to secondary, changes, SEAL Changes, changing schools, changing class

These resources were created to support group of children in my class who have SEN, social skills difficulties or who were over - worrying about their move up to high school, however there is no reason why some of the activities can't be used with the whole class.

The work is intended to focus on building up self esteem and recognising acts of friendliness.

The unit includes:
A Me Sheet - Children complete a fact file all about themselves (including finger prints) and look at how unique they are.
A book template about feelings - the children write how they feel when faced with certain things.
A book template 'Me' - the children write about all the things they CAN do.
An activity / worksheet on friendliness/unfriendliness - children sort different scenarios into the correct column. There is also a follow up to this with an activity sheet that children write different acts of friendliness they intend to do at High School on transition day and then a little sheet of the ones they managed to achieve... they will the hopefully have lots of positives to talk about!

This unit took approximately 10 x 45 minute sessions involving lots of discussion.
I bought the clipart used from Creative clips - https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Krista-Wallden

A series of activities for the first tutor times in September including class contracts, how to understand the timetable, attendance, equipment and overcoming worries. Includes a tutor booklet, certificate and transition survey

Lesson plan, card sort, worksheet and powerpoint on the theme of friendship, mapped to SEAL, ECM, PLTS etc

The move from Primary to Secondary school can seem a little overwhelming to students at first. New classes, new teachers, new people! That's why we've put together a Into Film guide to help with this transition, along with a series of activities and games.

The PowerPoint can be used to introduce the activity through discussion, then it gives guidelines about what aspects of school to discuss in their guide. Students then need to work together (pairs/small groups) to create a Survival Guide for the next year 7 students. The skills used are: writing to inform and explain, and s&l: talking with others.
