Curriculum resource
Introductory theme: Year 7
This introductory theme is designed for use as part of a school’s programme to support pupils through the process of transfer from primary to secondary education. This might be within a focused ‘transfer week’ or it might be part of a tutorial or PSHE programme. It is designed so that the opportunities can be combined in a flexible way. Most learning opportunities include a starter, energiser or warm-up activity, one or more core learning opportunities and a plenary. The theme provides learning opportunities that encourage pupils to:
- develop the social and emotional skills that help them to understand and cope with change;
- understand and actively participate in the building of a school and class climate that promotes social and emotional learning;
- reflect upon themselves as individuals with unique skills and talents;
- understand and help create a class community.
Please note: the learning opportunity booklet for this introductory theme is currently labelled ‘Theme 1’.
