Tea & About Me: Transition, Start of New Year & Moving into New Class Worksheet
‘Tea & About Me’ – as the transition into the new year begins and students move into new classes, it’s a great time to reflect on personal goals and aspirations. One fun and creative activity to help facilitate this process is the “Tea & About Me” worksheet.
This worksheet encourages students to think deeply about themselves by answering questions about their likes, personal strengths and their future aspirations. It’s a great way to start off the new year and prepare yourself for the exciting challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in your new class!
This session explores the different feelings linked to moving year groups and supporting with this transition by allowing them to share information about themselves with their future teacher.
How could this resource be used?
- To support with moving year groups.
- To support children to build a relationship and positive bond with their new class teacher.
- To encourage children to feel part of a new classroom climate and community.
- To form a whole-class display for the new school year.
