Pastoral / Self-Esteem Resources> Mixing Pupils

A major concern for many Year 6's about transition is the making of new friends. A possible solution to help children form new friendships would be as follows:

In primary cluster groups, during the summer term, children from different primary schools could meet and work on joint projects eg DT - junk fashion show, drama workshops.

It is not important whether the children are working with people they will be going to the same secondary school with; it is the process of meeting new children and making new friendships. If the children gain confidence, knowing they are able to form friendships and work with different children, hopefully they will transfer this skill when they arrive at secondary school.
