This activity was introduced to me by a colleague who was teaching next door to me at the time. I found it to be a fantastic activity and have completed it every year since. To me, this is the perfect end of year activity as it has meaning, is creative and allows for the teacher who will be gaining each student to have a sample of work to consider over the holiday 'break'.
Here's how it works...
* name
* age
* likes
* what you want to do (art is always a popular suggestion here)
* who your friends are
* sports or other hobbies
* dreams for the future
This task is to provide the next year teacher with an accurate snapshot of the student's ability so make it clear that you will not be proof-reading/correcting - it is their responsibility. The letter is drafted in their workbook before they copy it onto a piece of paper.
The last part of the task (and dare I say the students' favourite) is to make an envelope for their letter (A4 paper again) and decorate it (must include their name on the envelope - very important)!
All that is left for you to do as the teacher is sort the envelopes into the relevant pile and hand over to their new teacher. Voila!
