This is the perfect resource for back to school. When my class come back from holidays I like to have circle time and take turns in sharing a special memory from the holidays. I then send the students back to their desks to complete this activity. They draw their memory and then choose a peer to sit with and put their puzzle back together. The discussions I hear around the room as they are working together are always so positive. It builds friendships and is a lovely way to ease children back to school after their break. To extend the activity, I often then ask the children to write about their memory and use their completed puzzle as a stimulus.

This poster is a fun way for your students to create a recount their school holidays. The resource includes a section where they can record their 3 highlights, draw a place they went and a food they ate. It would make a great first day of school activity. This resource can also be used for older students as a stimulus to refer to when creating a detailed recount.
