When you move into your new Year Group, what will be the same and what will be different?

This activity has been designed to support with transition from one year to another, in particular Year 2 to Year 3. It has been designed to support all children in all year groups.

How could this resource be used?

  • To support with moving year groups.
  • To support children to identify the similarities and differences linked to moving year groups.
  • To encourage children to identify when they need further support for their mental health, both spotting warning signs in themselves and others.
