Resources for a class display, ideal for transition day activities.
Each child writes their name on the crayon and draws their picture in the circle. They then colour in the crayon. All are then laminated, lined up on 3/4 rows and placed together as though they were in a box. They can also be curved and stapled down to give a 3D effect. Add a section at the bottom to make the crayon box (this can be flat but ideally would be 3D).
Print the ‘Crayon Display Text’ (you can choose either the outlined version or filled). Ensure it is printed in A3 and add to your box.
This is a resource we use to prepare KS2 year 6 children for school transition. We work through the booklet with the children on a 1:1 basis but this can be a self driven document.
I produced this to use with year 6 pupils to give them a taster of languages at secondary school. There is a brief section of introductions, numbers and a dialogue in a cafe. The resources are in Spanish, French and Italian.
For use in both EYFS and Key Stages 1 and 2, here are the transition day activities I showed on my Instagram.
These activities are what I plan to use on my transition day next week and I wanted to share them with you all! In this download there are three activities:
All About Me Poster
Find Someone Who
Letter Template
Activities 1 and 2 can be used together which I am planning to do using a gallery walk for children to go and find someone who but you can always do them independantly.
This download includes a PDF version of all three sheets for printing out but there will be an PPT (PowerPoint) version coming soon!
