Transition Lesson 6: Finding My Way

• LessonUp

Introduction

A series of lessons designed to help you teach your students about the differences they will experience as they move up to KS3 and secondary school. There are slides within the presentations that you can easily customise to make them relevent to your school and local area, meaning the information you share with your students will be as relevant to them as possible.

Instructions

Simply save the lesson to your personal or school folder on Lessonup, then open it within the editor to change whatever you need to! 

The more personalised you can make it to your own students transitions, the more they will learn from it. Why not send it home for your students to do with their adults at home!

Finding my way

Year 6 to Year 7 Transition

6/6

In this lesson we will:

• Look at how students travel to their
   Secondary Schools 

• Look at a map of a school and investigate some
   of the new names for subjects and areas of the
   school that the children may encounter. 

• Think about what might happen if a child loses
   their way around school.

Where should Joe cross?

What should this girl do 

before she crosses the road?

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.

What hazards might you find

on your way to school?

This slide enables the class to consider their own locality and some of the hazards within it.

Use GoogleMaps to help you to plan your route.

Plan out your route to school. 

Take a picture of your plan and post it here.

How confident are you at finding 

your way to and from your new school?
