Dd is coming to the end of Reception and today was supposed to be transition day, where she spent the day in Year 1. I was expecting she would meet the NQT who will be her class teacher next year (we only found out last week that it won't be the current year 1 teacher). The new teacher wasn't there today and the class just did work with a teaching assistant, nobody spoke to them about next year at all.
I wondered what is normal practice when a new teacher joins the school, whether I could reasonably expect dd to meet the new teacher before September? Dd is anxious about changing class, was still awake at 9.30pm last night due to feeling nervous and had to be cajoled to go this morning with promise of treats after school. I hoped she would be less anxious after transition day but it sounds as though her class didn't have a transition day at all (class teacher confirmed dd's version of events and didn't seem impressed either).
