I have put this booklet together for our week long Summer School. The 36 page booklet includes:
a welcome page that you can add pictures of your staff to.
a timetable page for you to adapt to your summer school
a school map that you will need to adapt
a growth mindset star/quiz for pupils to reflect on their life before summer school with spaces for pupils to reflect on the positive and what needs to be developed and 3 targets. (This is repeated at the end to highlight growth during Summer School)
-5 days of reflections with words of the day and a section at the bottom for parents to sign off on to say that they have had a dialogue about their day and to encourage school-parent relationships. Each reflective day is meaningful, has prompts, questions and pictures and can be done in 10 mins if the day is busy.
a careers future section which matches the presentation- this is about the future- pupils pick a job from the list and both the PP and the booklet show pupils how to work out taxes and bills. They then work out the lifestyle they would be able to afford. This is meant to teach them about ‘the real world’- I recommend that this workshop would take 1 hour.
riddles for a treasure hunt which will it for any school- you will just have to remove my pictures for the classrooms to use your own- but you could just take them out altogether as pictures aren’t necessary.
a summer reading challenge for pupils to complete when they leave your sumer school with 6 challenges to encourage pupils to read.

Edexcel Revision flashcards for Conflict Cluster. There is a card per poem with 4 important language quotations, the technique and an inference as well as structural features and inferences. The other side has a summary of the poem’s ideas and context. Also comes with tips for answering the question and planning guidance.
I made these for my department and I have been flooded with requests to print more for Year 11 for the last two years so hopefully they will be valuable on a wider level!
The cards are ordered on PowerPoint so that when they are printed they will be back to back. The ycan be laminated or printed on card.
