Transition Days
The children will be moving to their new class teacher for two days next week. Here are some activities the children might come across:

SHIELD: We will split into 4 sections: name, pictures of family, favourite things, favourite subject etc. Children do them during the handover session in the last week, then we will have them displayed in the classroom for the first week back in Sept.

HALF FACE: We will take a digital photograph of each child (on a blank background) and then print only one half of each photo out in black and white. Using pencils the children then draw the other half of their face. The effect is fantastic and the children love seeing the display on the first day of the new term.

BOOKMARKS: Each child wrote and decorated their name on one side and on the other drew pictures of their favourite things eg pet/animal, sport, character, place, number etc. We then laminated and cut them out. At the beginning of the new school year we gave them back to the children during their first individual read.

The children make and decorate a name card to go next to their coat hook. Some choose to do it using ICT, others draw etc. The new labels are there for them, next to their coat space, when they return in September.

 Year 1
