Description

In this unit, pupils practise speaking and listening skills to turn take, agree and disagree respectfully and share opinions about the transition of leaving primary school to go to secondary school. Pupils develop their ability to listen without judgement to their peers' opinions and feelings.

This unit uses and builds on pupils' speaking and listening skills developed in the Year 5 unit 'Successful speeches'. Pupils build their ability to listen carefully, without judgement, to peers' opinions and feelings about transitions. Notably, pupils share ideas about what they are excited about and apprehensive about in the transition from primary to secondary school. Critical learning centres around being able to agree and disagree respectfully. This unit prepares pupils for being ready for secondary school, both in their own personal development and in what to expect in a new environment.
