Tray labels for all the main Science topics, that you would have resources for, covered in Primary school. These are simple to print out, cut to size and shire seal onto a clear plastic container.

I use this with my class to see at a glance who is in school/absent today. Great for asking maths questions too, e.g. How many children are at school? How many children are absent? How many more children…less… etc. Only one small passport photo is required of each child. Attach blue tac to the back and simply ask a monitor to move the picture of children who are absent that day. Alternatively, ask children to self-register themselves on a morning by checking themselves into the classroom with their photos themselves.

Children can either independently write a label after reading a book or you choose a star a day/a week to write their reasons either for liking or disliking a book. Discuss as a class first.
