Year 6 to 7 Transition Days

Year 6 to 7 Transition Days On the first day the children were able to taste what secondary life would be like and conducted themselves in a mature way with nothing but praise from all the teachers they met. The English department arranged a very interesting and tasty lesson and during their Science lessons children were able to create and hold fireballs!

“Amazing!”

“Awesome!”

“Can’t wait for next year.”

and

“We got to walk around the school on our own.”

These were just a few of the comments I heard after the two fabulous transitions days our current Year 6 cohort just had.

On the first day the children were able to taste what secondary life would be like and conducted themselves in a mature way with nothing but praise from all the teachers they met. The English department arranged a very interesting and tasty lesson and during their Science lessons children were able to create and hold fireballs!

The fun continued on the second day where the children were able to spend a day with our Year 12 students, asking them questions about secondary life and creating a sustainability campaign which they are ready to roll out next year to all the children in the school. I have to admit I am not a great fan of rap music but even I had my head bopping to the ‘Oak Sustainably Rap song’.

Overall, two fantastic days which I hope was informative as well as fun to the children and I know for sure they will all be a great asset to the Secondary School next year.
