Transition booklet: 1st 3 lessons, workbook with instructions and examples on colour coded PP

After the first ‘getting to know you’ lesson, you want to get the measure of your students as well as help them get into your routines. This booklet contains 3 lessons that include self and peer assessment, SPaG, Reading and Writing tasks with answers, instructions, explanations and examples on the PP. The sections you need to mark are short, but quickly give you a sense of the student’s abilities, personality and emotional state. So don’t get tripped up by missing registers, not enough books or any of the other things that prevent a crisp start: print a set of booklets for your next y7s before the summer break and ease them into secondary school with bitesized tasks that form the basis of all KS3 tasks, but are KS2 friendly. On the back page of the booklet are handy reminders of the acronyms that students may’ve come across at primary school to help them proofread and correct their work.
