Transition from the Foundation Stage to Key 1 (Redbridge Local Authority)

“ Inquisitive, enquiring, confident, hesitant, creative, articulate........ you add your own words to describe the young Reception child. Whichever words you choose I am sure you will acknowledge that each child has their own personality and throughout that first year in school their individuality can both challenge and reward the adults sharing their day. ”
"Redbridge Local Authority - Page 3"

 Key Questions:

  • What does it mean to a child to be 6 in your school?
