Year 6 Transition

In school this week, we are going to be using the booklet attached below titled 'Y6 Transition Booklet' to explore some of the changes you will encounter as you move up to secondary school. We will be aiming to finish this booklet by the end of the week so work your way through a couple of these activities at home each day.

Watch some of these clips that may also provide some reassurance: Transition

ALSO if you have yet to complete the Y6 leavers book activity and picture submission I set last Monday 15th June, PLEASE go back and complete this so I can get your page of the book organised. I will need these completed and handed in (virtually or in person) by Friday at the very latest.

P.E.

At a time where we all find ourselves indoors for the most of the day, we should bear in mind how important daily exercise is for our health and wellbeing, particularly our mental health. If you are able to, take your device somewhere with plenty of space (even the garden on a nice sunny day) or clear some space in front of your computer and follow along with Joe Wicks for a 30 minute workout. I will definitely be doing the same!
