AnonyMouse_45216 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I am keen to develop the children's transition into year 1 and was wondering if anyone had any positive experiences to share please. Also wondering if anyone had some positive experiences or practise on how the R and 1 teachers worked together prior to the children's move? Or positive practise that has worked well in terms of assessment once the children leave R and enter 1? We currently do some transitional mornings where Class Reception children go to a year 1 classroom to take part in activities and we do a meet the teacher morning, once the teachers have all been finalised for September. Last year the children wrote their year 1 teacher a letter to tell them all about themselves and this worked nicely as they enjoyed handing it over before starting in year 1. Any ideas would be warmly welcomed! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3307 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Yr 1 teachers spend time in the reception class in July and observe children jointly with the reception teachers A project started in July carried on in yr 1 in sept Essential that Yr 1 teachers are part of the QA process for EYFSP especially the exceeding so they can plan properly Consult and find out what parents want to know about Yr1 and Primary expectations - there are often big changes for them too in terms of relationships with staff etc. Consult with children to find out what they are concerned about and help them to identify strategies to manage their worries TAs from reception go into yr 1 for a few weeks in September to help with familiar adults Children start to do PE or go into the main playground if they don't already These are from 2005 but still have relevance. http://www.nfer.ac.uk/publications/FKT01/FKT01_home.cfm http://www.nfer.ac.uk/publications/FKT02/FKT02.pdf The powerpoint is particularly helpful.
