Success into Secondary

Supporting Transition with Circle Time

This book is the result of more than 6 years of work in schools in Hertfordshire, helping children make the transition from primary education to the big school.

The 6 sessions are based on a Circle Time approach and supplemented by follow-up activities. Each session has comprehensive teacher instructions with the necessary worksheets. A memory map technique provides a unifying element to the programme.

Issues covered include:

- bullying

- friendship

- meeting new people

- organisation and induction day

Teacher comments include: The vulnerable children seem less worried.

The programme was a success and made the children more confident and less anxious.

Childrens comments include:

'Many of the worries I had are now gone and I cant wait for secondary school' - Eleanor

' Helped me with confidence and facing my fears such as bullying' - Daniel

An interactive and fun approach using Circle Time techniques to assist all teachers who want to help Year 6 pupils make a successful transition.
