Transitions 2025-2026

Mrs Harper is the Year 2 teacher at Harlaxton CE Primary School along with Mrs Pacey. Below you will find transition information telling you of a little bit about Year 2 before you begin.

We are very friendly and hope to see you soon!

School Year 2025 - 2026

ELSA - Friendships

Over the next few weeks, we will explore forest school activities through ELSA sessions. We will learn about skills required for good friends and what we can do to overcome difficulties. 

Week 1 - Friendship potions 

Week 2 – Removing negative thoughts and how to deal with conflict. We threw out bad thoughts, comments on the fire, hoping never to say or hear them again. We then absorbed the positive energy before toasting marshmallows! How lucky we were!

Week 3 - Den building! This helped to develop skills such as problem solving, teamwork, aids physical development, creativity and trial and error. Together we could encoruage and create a den for story time!

We filled the Piggy Bank

This term we can earn money in the piggy bank for a reward. The first time, we decided if we filled the jar with 50p, we would like to enjoy s'mores. They were so tasty and some of us had never tried them before! Next time the piggy bank is full, we can choose our next reward. We have several choices. 

10p = 10 minutes extra play

50p = bring a teddy to school 

£1.00 = craft session

Together we will make a democratic vote, using our British Values to decide whether we would prefer to cash out 10p or 50p for a reward or save up further.
