SUMMARY:Lancaster Schools Tree-mendous Transition Survival day!
DESCRIPTION:  \nFor Lancaster Schools only as part of the School Games. \n  \nTransition Day @ The Health Innovation Campus\, Lancaster University! \nTransition Day 16th June 25 INVITE \n  \nDear Colleague\,   \nWe would like to invite your school to the new and exciting… Climate Action Transition Day 2025 taking place at Health Innovation One\, Lancaster University\, Bailrigg\, Lancaster\, LA1 4AT. This event will see children from across Lancaster come together to build confidence and self-esteem as they transition to high school. We would like schools to bring 6-8 children from KS2 and KS3\, specifically years 5\, year 6 and year 7 to take part in a ‘Climate Challenge Transition Day’ Venue specific information will follow upon registering for the event.  Pupils will step into a real life computer game type event! \n09:00 arrive for a 10:00 start and the event should finish no later than 14:30.The Transition Day will run in the midst of a post-apocalyptic climate crisis! Children must work together to solve puzzles\, learning about our local flora and fauna\, learning what plants and animals need to survive and thrive\, seeing things from different perspectives and working together to earn time in the mass group game at the end of the day. Think Crystal Maze meets Krypton Factor meets Mad Max!  \nSchools are encouraged to bring a targeted group of year 5/6/7 who perhaps don’t enjoy ‘traditional’ sports but may enjoy something different\, or those could struggle socially and emotionally.  We want to give children an experience that they may never have had before or again and build their confidence in order to aid transition to high school. \nIf you’d like to be involved\, please book via our website & see below for further details. For any more information please contact: \nLancaster Schools: Dan Morris- danmorrislhssn@gmail.com or Steven Jamieson- jamieson.sm@gmail.com \nWe look forward to hearing from you! \n  \nActivity Outcome \nFor children who are about to transition to high school and children who have recently transitioned to experience a challenge day working as part of a team in the beautiful surroundings of the Health Innovation Campus! The aim is to work through puzzles and problems in outdoor surroundings with a theme on our environment and climate action! \nPurpose \nFinding new ways to help children with the transition to high school   \nWho Is It for? \nYears 5\, 6\, 7 and 8 \nEntry Criteria  \nSchools should select between 6 – 8 pupils (mixed\, no ratio)- please just let us know how many you intend to bring when entering.  Schools are encouraged to select a targeted group who perhaps have low self-esteem or confidence and may find the transition from primary school to high school difficult. This event would also be good to build confidence with children who have recently transitioned to high school. \nFormat \nSchools will all meet at Health Innovation One where they will have chance to mingle with their fellow participants. They will then be briefed about the rules of the game. Instructions\, timesheets and score sheets will be given to the teams before they set off from the HIC on a pre planned route around the woodland trail of Lancaster Campus. Along the way\, they will encounter puzzles and problems to solve in order to earn ‘golden pine cones’ which earn time for the final game Hill of Hell!
