A powerpoint containing activities for transition week in a SEND/Entry Level setting.
I used this powerpoint with a class of KS3 learners with SEND. It lasted approximately 3 days with lots of breaks in between.
It contains the following ideas:
Class motto
Class logo
Class rules
Best piece of writing
How do you feel about starting a new setting
A unit booklet designed to meet the learning outcomes and assessment criteria of the unit.
It contains suggested tasks as well as blank witness statement and photo annotation sheets.
At the end is a feedback form along with assessment for learning emojis on each page of the resources.
Although the unit covers the assessment criteria for the unit, Gateway Qualifications have not been involved in the design or production of the booklets.
I hope that you like this resource and find that it saves you some valuable time.
