Our year 6 children were visited this morning by the lovely Vic and Jo from the West Sussex MHST Thoughtful team for a transition workshop which looked at their feelings about moving up to secondary school and helped them to build strategies to manage any worries they may have. The children learnt about the physical signs and symptoms of anxiety, they talked about things they might feel uncertain about in their move to secondary school and together, came up with solutions to help them feel more confident. They were able to ask questions about things that might be different in secondary school and find out a bit more about what it will be like. The children all enjoyed their morning, and hopefully now feel relaxed and secure in moving on.
