In this unit, children prepare for transfer to key stage 3 and a new school by exploring feelings associated with change and transition. They consider the idea of the school as a community, and develop strategies that enable them to manage change more effectively. The unit could be adapted for use with children transferring from key stage 1 to key stage 2, or involved in a change of school.
This unit links with work in literacy and English, in particular using stories and short novels to raise important issues. Some links are
indicated in the 'Points to note' section. It also builds on work relating to relationships, enhancing self-esteem and building
confidence. It is helpful if the children have had experience of circle time, role-play and discussing and debating topical issues and
problems.
The unit links with unit 1 'Taking part - developing skills of communication and participation'. There are also opportunities to link with English, RE and career-related learning.
