Moving On Up; Transition

(Workshops for Year 7)

DOWNLOAD OUR TRANSITION FLIER 

Everyone knows that with all new beginnings comes big change. Bigfoot’s range of inspiring workshops aims to help Year 7 students explore and celebrate transition
creatively with their peers.

  • BIG STEPS (ASSEMBLY & WORKSHOPS)

Big Steps invites students to start the day by participating in a Bigfooter
led assembly; the ideal springboard to start discussions surrounding the move
from Primary to Secondary school. After having been given a humorous insight into the various concerns associated with moving on, the assembly is followed by workshops that aim to reassure students, alleviate fears and anxieties, as well as explore the many positive elements of transition.

  • TRANSITION; PLAY IN A DAY (WORKSHOPS & SHARING)

This unique workshop gives your students the opportunity to take part in a group
storytelling experience in order to create a unique piece of devised theatre based on
transition… in just one day! At the end of the day, all groups are invited back together in order to share their stories with their peers and/or parents and guardians, all assisted by our Bigfoot facilitator.
