Supporting Kids with the Secondary School Transition
Over the past three weeks, we had the fantastic opportunity to coach 60 Year 6 kids in nature, helping them build the confidence they need for secondary school. And guess what? Spending time outdoors, just playing, really helped them relax. The feedback showed how much they loved that part of our sessions. So over the Summer holidays we have the perfect opportunity to connect our kids with nature, it’s a brilliant and free way to help them feel calm and confident, simply by being in the moment.
“Children love being outside and given a bit of freedom, letting them go off into the wild area with fewer limitations I think they enjoy it. They really enjoy creating and crafting something so the house/den building was great.” – Mr. Hodgson, Year 6 Teacher
Kids reporting feeling anxious starting secondary dropped from 28% top 6%, after the sessions – you can find more support for those transitioning to secondary school in our dedicated blog post here:
