Today, Year 6 had a very interesting and helpful workshop led by Georgina and Iris from MIND.
As we have only four weeks left until the Summer holidays, Year 6 are facing a big change in their lives as they prepare to leave St. Vincent’s and move onto their secondary schools.
In the workshop, we talked about worries that children might have about being at secondary schools and challenging scenarios that we might face. We worked in groups to come up with our own solutions and suggestions for children who might be facing these worries and scenarios. We then shared our ideas with the rest of the class.
We ended by thinking about what we are looking forward to as we move onto the next exciting stage in our lives.
Thank you to Georgina and Iris for coming to work with us today. It helped us to understand that it is natural to have worries about such a big change and also to start thinking about some strategies to help us to cope with them as well.
This workshop helped me a lot. I now feel a lot more confident about my transition from primary to secondary. After all, I will always be able to check in on Miss Siswick and Miss Heally after school!!!!
Thank you Georgina and Iris, the workshop was very helpful 👍🏽😊
