The whole area of transition is under resourced and Molly's book will
be well received by both Year 6 as they prepare pupils for secondary
school and also by Year 7 teachers, who could use it in the first few
weeks when they are getting to know their new pupils.
There has been much recent focus on the impact of transition and the
need to support children through it. This book includes easy-to-use and
meaningful activities that aim to support children through this
potentially stressful time. The activities are extremely user friendly
and would take little or no preparation on the part of the teacher.
This new book from Molly Potter addresses the perennial problem of how
to prepare Year 6 children for secondary school. It covers issues that
would be explored in PSHE, year group assemblies and literacy lessons.
It also includes leaflets for pupils and parents on issues such as peer
influence, coping with change and what change to expect. The activities
are a combination of fun to do, such as 'Getting to know your new
teachers' and a quiz on 'How organised you are' but also delve into
more emotional issues such as 'How you feel about secondary school' and
'The effects of peer pressure'.
