- Ask the class to make a list of all the groups and communities they belong to, eg school, family, sports team, out-of-school club, religious community. What is our school community like? List the different experiences children have had of their school community. Identify those that are positive and those that are negative.
- Produce or update a 'welcome' booklet for children joining key stage 2. If this involved a change of school, the school prospectus and other relevant documents could be used. Children could draw on their experiences of transferring to key stage 2. The work could be coordinated by a class publishing group, with the roles/jobs of the group being advertised and applied for. Children could hold a consultation on the content of the booklet with children in other classes, and the school council could also be involved.
- The class explores additional ways of helping others with change, eg setting up a 'buddy' system for newly-arrived children. Children could develop a job description for the role of playground buddy. Those wishing to apply could complete an application form and attend interviews, eg with a panel made up of both staff and children.
