My kids want to build our summer curric around go-karts!! Anyone made go-karts with KS2 20:09 chn? Ideas gtly rec'd! #ukedchat Many transitions/inductions in college don't cover basics and in FE 20:09 students are 'lost' by half term. #ukedchat @mr_chadwick not just curricular change though - institutional one 20:09 is bigger. How its managed is key issue IMO #ukedchat Also have shared class on vle with loads pics and vids of junior school teachers classrooms etc #ukedchat can ask questions at 20:09 home on forum RT @90_maz: #ukedchat run sessions for g and t y5/6 scientists 20:09 from feeder schools throughout th e year Year 5s do some work with us in the summer term to prepare them 20:09 for the new school year in September #ukedchat 20:10 #ukedchat secondary style lessons and subjects for a day. #ukedchat oh they get introduced to social media from reception year with us! They do visit junior school too of course! #ukedchat schools/college collaboration needs to be greater. Structured, co-operative, hand-in-hand.

Transition hosted by @PhilWheeler1 @philallman1 But if curriculum were similar, institution would be 20:11 similar? #ukedchat 20:11 @HilaryNunns not good for motivation or progress #ukedchat Week at Secondary doing timetable with teachers before summer holidays worked great with my daughter. No worry in hols, fab! 20:12 #ukedchat RT @HilaryNunns: #ukedchat schools/college collaboration needs to be greater. Structured, co-operative, hand-in-hand. How can we 20:12 get this b4 2013 @PhilWheeler1 I'm passionate abt it. Was HT of a Y5-8 mid sch so 20:12 had to get it right! #ukedchat @HilaryNunns Joining the same Ed Trust should help, with everything turning Academy the links should become stronger 20:12 #ukedchat #ukedchat Interesting that transition in ofsted 2012 means ready to progress. Similar to proposals for new Nat.Curric.Different to 20:12 liaison. @ukedchat @philwheeler1 great transition activities I've used mission explore activities #ukedchat and y6-7 present to staff and 20:12 their class RT @philallman1: @mr_chadwick not necessarily! It would help to ease the bump but best transition practice is much wider than curr 20:12 #ukedchat RT @davidhunter: #ukedchat not much about ks1/ks2 transition. 20:12 Anyone find this an issue? @philallman1 sounds like you have a programme for success keep 20:12 up the good work #ukedchat @ukedchat we run some subject sessions in the primary schools, 20:12 have a taster day at the end of june #ukedchat @HilaryNunns #ukedchat - also the transition into primary school in 20:12 the 1st place. And, I found college to Uni the hardest! Our local secondary school invites new pupils in for the first week 20:13 of the summer holidays for a variety of activities #ukedchat To ease transition, learners should spend a few days in their new 20:13 environment #ukedchat @HilaryNunns the assumption they're big enough to cope is never 20:13 a good one! #ukedchat 20:13 @HilaryNunns agree. This is another debate I feel #ukedchat @MrWaldram #ukedchat Ride-on is their preference, building up to a race @ the end! Making team overalls etc too! They don't want 20:13 much! @philwheeler1 #ukedchat No not good for motivation! Handed over from big school to fend for themselves. Big adjustment which 20:13 not all manage RT @philallman1: @HilaryNunns the assumption they're big 20:14 enough to cope is never a good one! #ukedchat

Transition hosted by @PhilWheeler1 @mollywicks #ukedchat Interesting! So we're saying it's hard at 20:14 both ends of the spectrum! Induction is not all. @MartindalePaul sounds great. We've used construction kits 20:14 before. Like giant meccano. Quality #truestory #ukedchat #ukedchat current sld school home visits, school visits for y6, 20:14 multiple college visits in ks5.no internal transition though :-( RT @chrisquigley: #ukedchat Interesting that transition in ofsted 2012 means ready to progress. Similar to proposals for new 20:14 Nat.Curric.Different to liaison. Big problem we have with transition is not recieving full information from Primaries, Linked Documents, SEN docs etc 20:14 #ukedchat RT @ukedchat: 5 minutes until @PhilWheeler1 is hosting #ukedchat with the theme being around Transition. Info at 20:14 http://t.co/2N9vieTU #ukedchat processes of moving on have been traditionally called 20:15 transition. Now we may need to think of readiness. 20:15 @JOHNSAYERS @ukedchat #ukedchat cheers John great ideas @philallman1 So what else? In my experience of Y6 worries about bullying, more homework, getting lost, strict teachers/detentions 20:15 #ukedchat @teamjacklin ok so wht have U proposed U wnt from them or offered 2 help - its either unwillingness or capacity when ths occurs 20:15 #ukedchat As more schools become academies and join together, transition should become well knitted between same trust 20:15 Primaries/Secondaries #ukedchat @philwheeler1 massively! My twitter feed links to school website 20:15 so need to be appropriate! #ukedchat RT @JOHNSAYERS: @ukedchat @philwheeler1 great transition activities I've used mission explore activities #ukedchat and y6-7 20:15 present to staff and their class @chrisquigley forget that transition may take time for each individual. sound like transition needs to occur before arrival 20:15 #ukedchat Teachers visit and do lessons but not often enough and children need to know way around a bigger school where they are not 20:15 known #ukedchat @nickotkdIV after running around like crazy I can't do #ukedchat As a spec sch we don't have transition. I'll watch and learn. Enjoy 20:15 chat @mr_chadwick its the little things & an u/s of it being a rite of 20:16 passage that is vital. difft is ok as long as its handled well #ukedchat RT @JOHNSAYERS: @ukedchat @philwheeler1 great transition activities I've used mission explore activities #ukedchat and y6-7 20:16 present to staff and their class

Transition hosted by @PhilWheeler1 @shaz_yu #ukedchat In college we run taster sessions, but they r fluffy + warm, unlike real FE collg courses which are steeped in 20:16 coursework Great start thank you all moving on What is the importance of 20:16 transition? #ukedchat #ukedchat During summer term I take any SEND ch for extra visits to comp. They do a 'treasure hunt' where they find rooms using a 20:16 school map Our Y6s have received a visit from the head of our local secondary school and a maths teacher comes in once a week #ukedchat Alongside the summer masterclasses we run an activity week (PE) for incoming yr 7 and existing students. Get's over the fear! #ukedchat @MattOswin @mr_chadwick only way these go is in real time! #ukedchat RT @HilaryNunns: @shaz_yu #ukedchat In college we run taster sessions, but they r fluffy + warm, unlike real FE collg courses which are steeped in coursework @philallman1 Unfortunately its SIMS that has a gap in link docs. We can ask for everything from several schools but a lot to ask! #ukedchat Primary schools are all visited by a member of staff in June. Time consuming but worthwhile. #ukedchat @MattOswin Why do pupils want to go to school in hol? Should build into term time. We have similar offer and not real situation! #ukedchat @MattOswin If only :) #ukedchat @mr_chadwick @philallman1 I'd agree about those being the major worries - crop up every year I find #ukedchat

They have transition issues: 20:21 harder/easier #ukedchat @JazzieDe In that sense, I agree.

@Kezmerrelda But how often are NQTs put in Y1? I'd say quite 20:27 regularly. Or Y3 which has its own challenges. #ukedchat Just jumping into #ukedchat talking about transition. I feel some Year 6's are ready for the secondary model of schooling. @philallman1 so which was easier regarding transition then? #ukedchat RT @ufasarah: Why do we even have separate schools? Why not a seamless education? #ukedchat >>> crikey, imagine the size of the campus :-) @DWar Not true though - in school variation can be even bigger. #ukedchat RT @MissionExplore: We will be really pleased to work with any teachers that would like to use #MissionExplore for a transition project. Just @ me. #ukedchat @HilaryNunns @ufasarah #ukedchat I like this though.I think the atmosphere would change with young chn to care for RT @MissionExplore: We will be really pleased to work with any teachers that would like to use #MissionExplore for a transition project. Just @ me. #ukedchat @MrWaldram When do they need to be 'toughened up', or does evolution do that anyway? #ukedchat The discussion is moving naturally on to what makes outstanding transition links or materials? #ukedchat @hilarynunns my thoughts exactly! #ukedchat

RT @tafkam1979: We have to look at making Y6 more like Y7... and Y7 more like Y6 in some ways. #ukedchat

Transition hosted by @PhilWheeler1 RT @tafkam1979: Most importantly, Y7s need to know that they have one person who actually knows and cares about them. Not just a 20-minute tutor! #ukedchat @tafkam1979 one school I taught at had a school-wide system of 'champions' that was like that. Every member of sch staff involved. #ukedchat #ls6 team launch new competition& brochure Top 10 #socialmedia practice in Europe #edtech20 #pln http://t.co/71yiv80e #edchat #ukedchat RT @Shaf_Hansraj: Primary students should be in sec schools as well as part of their education as secs often have spec equipment to aid learning #ukedchat Primary students should be in sec schools as well as part of their education as secs often have spec equipment to aid learning #ukedchat #ukedchat secondary school releasing students to be peer mentors and visit the year 6 classes during the yr to volunteer, works wonders

@miconm absolutely - it also means that new cohort know staff 21:09 and older students which can be vital in first weeks #ukedchat 21:10 @PhilWheeler1 cheers for #ukedchat enjoyed it as always be inventive, primary students join year 8s doing field work. They remember it and it gives you common ground in first weeks 21:11 #ukedchat
