It is, probably, the Year 6 activity most looked forward to, especially as now, the Year 6 children remember their own 'Working Together' partners. The bonding between partners is quite amazing and only in a few instances is a request made for a different partner. The special needs children in Year 6 gain particular satisfaction from the partnerships as qualities, other that academic, are of key importance. Motivation and quality of work is always high. During the year every area of the curriculum is covered.
Immense effort is put into producing a suitable book for the young partner.
Working together' with our partners. Parents at both ends of the school value the arrangement and frequently offer positive comments. Working Together' is a learning time for the little ones and the older ones. It helps Year 6 children understand and cope with small children and it helps Reception children settle into school quickly and gain confidence. We do many different activities together.
