Back to school puzzle

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.
