I CAN’s Moving On! resources include a fun and supportive Student Activity Pack for use at home or at school and Teacher Guide for Year 6 teachers to support individuals and whole classes.
Research has shown that a successful transition can lead to higher attainment in secondary school with improved progress, particularly in Maths and Science, reinforcing how important it is to ensure transition is well supported.
Moving On! resources offer carefully structured support to develop practical skills and knowledge, preparing students emotionally, so that they feel safe and secure in their new environment.
Moving On! can be used by Year 6 students, parents and professionals as it offers an effective framework to ensure all children including those with poor language skills will understand the changes ahead.
Can be used either on its own, or in conjunction with the Teacher Guide. This fun activity pack guides the Year 6 student through key information, top tips and activities including getting to know the school, timetables, transport, friendships, concerns and key words and phrases.
