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.

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.

Get to know your students on their first day of school with this fun activity. Once completed, cut out the penants and display them in the classroom. Please enjoy this resource and leave a review for my new store. Please note: USA spelling is used on this product (favorite, color). Please explore my store for alternate spelling options
