A fantastic start of the school year activity. The children cut out, fold and colour the house template. Then the children can open the door and either add a photograph or a drawing of their family. In my class I read the children ‘The Family Book’ by Todd Parr (on YouTube) which describes lots of different types of families. Then I introduced this activity.

Set of 7 PSHE powerpoints and resources for the first two weeks staring school. The sides are based around books including, The Invisible String’, Owl Babies, Our Class is a Family, This is the Bear and the Scary Night, Peppa Pig at school, Happy Birthday from the Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Family Book. You do not need these books - YouTube links are given if needed. The slides are to support approx 10 minute carpet inputs which then have a follow up activity or craft. They are designed to help children transition into the school life. Included is also a set of 6 illustrated class rules: One voice speaks, good sitting, look and listen, choose it, use it, put it away, kind hands and kind words. Each rule card has circle time stories, activities and games on the reverse to help embed the rules over the course of the first few weeks.

This is a colourful book aimed at EYFS and KS1 told by a shire horse called Millie. Millie talks about her life and the tractors on the farm in which she lives. Millie then shows us photographs of her great, great, great grandmother Mildred. This book compares the difference between modern tractors and horse drawn machinery in the past. I made this book for my class as I couldn’t find anything similar specifically aimed at 4-7 year olds. Once we read it, the children picked their favourite pages to colour and wrote their own sentences for our version of the book. The illustrations are included in a ‘colour in’ version with lines to write sentences at the back of the book.

Two vibrant games to incorporate within ‘People who help us’ understanding the world topic work. All the resources needed to set these two games up in a tuff tray. Children will also build their number skills. Postal worker game: Pick a post van and 4 letters to put in your van. Use the dice to move around the circular road track. If you land on a house that you have a letter for you ‘deliver’ that letter. The first person to deliver all 4 of their letters wins. Hospital game: This is a 2 player game. Choose an ambulance (numbered 1 or 2.) Use a 1-3 dice to move along the road (numbered 1-10.) Firstly land on the house (on the fall of the correct number) to pick up the patient, then can you get your patient to hospital first?

Face templates are a great way for children to observe and discuss different people’s features. Encourage the children to use a mirror to talk about their own features and then create a self-portrait. Can be used as a cut and stick project, or to be laminated.
