A great 21 page resource for an independent baking activity used in Reception (though could be used with children of other ages, particularly Year 1 or children with SEND).

16 page PDF Early Years Transition booklet It includes various activities for children to do at home or in nursery prior to moving into a school nursery or reception class. Activities all encourage children to think about their new school and discuss it with a grown up. Some give space for children to draw their ideas or colour in, alongside key questions for adults to ask them as they complete the activity. There are some pages for guided discussion such as around what they may do in their new setting, and discussion of the child’s feelings. There are 5 pages of tips for parents on how they can support their children to have a good transition experience too and how to prepare their children for school.
