All about me! Mini book making. Back to school.

What’s included?
This download includes x3 A4, portrait pdf sheets for learners to make their own ‘mini book’ to share in writing and drawing some simple information that is ‘all about me’ to help learners and new teachers to get to know each other.

Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.

Resource Details
Page 1 This page has been designed to be the ‘book’ itself. The top section is the front and back cover, the middle and lower section have been designed as the pages to go inside the book. Learners are to cut along ‘dotted’ lines on page 1 to create three separate strips - these are the ‘pages’ of the book. Learners then stack these three pages together - with the ‘All about me!’ cover positioned at the front and fold along the ‘dashed’ lines. Learners can write their name on the line provided on the front cover before continuing with making their mini-book.

Once this has been done learners can then stick information (see pages 2 and 3) on the front AND back of these pages to add more information to their ‘all about me’ mini-book. If learners wish to include even more information more than one copy of page 1 can be provided for learners to access - although they will only need one copy of the top section (the front and back cover of the book!)

Learners will each need a pencil, scissors and a glue stick. Adults may wish to ‘staple’ the spine of these mini-books together (along the ‘dashed lines’) once complete.

Pages 2 and 3. These pages have been designed to be cut out as individual squares and completed by learners before being stuck into the prepared mini-book. Learners can choose which ‘squares/pages’ to include in their mini book - there are several to choose from…

Information for learners to complete includes…

• drawing a picture of themselves
• writing the number for how old they are, drawing the correct number of candles onto a birthday cake to show this and recording in writing when their birthday is
• writing or drawing and labelling something that they did during the summer holidays
• colouring and writing the name of their favourite colour
• drawing and labelling their favourite food (on a plate)
• writing or drawing and labelling their favourite ‘thing to do’
• circling a sentence to indicate whether they have a pet/s (or not)
• writing the type of creature their pet is/pets are and their pets name/s
• circling a sentence to indicate whether they like school (or not)
• writing or drawing and labelling something they like about/to do at school
• writing or drawing and labelling something they do not like about/to do at school
