Innovative learning activities at a busy time of year

Students and Staff have been involved in a number of EOTC (Education Outside the Classroom) and school events over the past couple of weeks and there will be more exciting learning opportunities coming up, before the end of the term. Each one of these gives children experiences that they may not have had before, which increases the prior knowledge  they bring to their learning.
It does though bring with it a few issues, or perceived issues. A small group of students find change and transitions difficult at the best of time and at the end of the year their anxiety tends to increase and behaviours can start to slip. As teachers, and schools, we need to be flexible while trying to keep routines up as much as possible. It's about having a large number of management tools in your toolbox to draw from, including the support from parents, other staff members, management and outside agencies when necessary.
