Perhaps you’re a teacher wanting to get to know your new class better or discover what they get up to in the holidays, or maybe you just want them to have some fun. Whatever the reason, we’ve got you covered!

Let your pupils’ imagination run wild! You know the truth, but what do they think you get up to over the holidays? Do you become your superhero alter ego? Do you return to your home planet? Do you spend time with your pet giraffe? This writing resource is lots of fun for you and the kids.

Our picture-perfect postcard is a fun and meaningful activity for over the school break that will also help you to find out a bit more about your new class. It can be posted back to your school address (children love a trip to the post box!) or brought back in the new school term. The children will love filling it in and sharing their adventures! Come September, you have a lesson starter at the ready. Your class can use their postcard to write a recount or description of their holidays.
