You can be as creative as you wish.
You could:
- Create some artwork similar to the examples above

- Write a letter to your new teacher to tell them all the wonderful things about yourself
- Complete the transition booklet that is attached to this post
Your new teachers can’t wait to meet you all this week and what a lovely way to help them to get to know you better!
Extended Study – Thank you day!
Thank You Day is a national initiative in the UK dedicated to expressing gratitude to individuals and groups who make a positive impact in our communities. Originally launched in 2021 to acknowledge the efforts of NHS staff and other key workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, the day has since evolved into a broader celebration of appreciation and community spirit.
We would like to get involved by saying a big thank you to different people within our local community.
Create a postcard, thank you card or poster to someone in our community that you want to say THANK YOU to.
Make a list in Crew of all the people you want to say thank you to and bring in your completed cards next Monday! We would love to deliver some of the cards before the end of Summer Term!
