This 27 page booklet has been created for Kindergarten, Grade 1, Key Stage 1 children. It has tried and tested favourites for getting to know your new class, such as an ‘All about me’ page, ‘Golden Rules’ drawing and writing page and a ‘My Summer’ postcard writing page. Some of the activities are purposely designed to get the children looking around their new classroom and asking their classmates questions. It is also full of fun activities which could be used as time fillers or finishing activities but can also be a fun way of checking and revising skills such as writing numbers, and recognising sounds. I hope you enjoy it as much as my class did!
