All about me transition activity - personality planets

(0)
A fun all about me ten page craft activity for primary pupils with two pages of self reflection questions. This versatile resource could be used on a transition afternoon, transition day or as a back to school activity to get your pupils thinking about their personality solar system. Included in this resource: Instructions (1 page) Front cover (1 page) Star template and personality planets (6 pages) Self reflection questions (2 pages) Pupils start by drawing a portrait of themselves in the star and writing a summary about who they are and what they love before thinking about five aspects of their personality that make them special. They could write down five things that describe who they are, what is important to them, what they believe in, what they love etc. Once pupils have drawn their personality planets and written about them, they can arrange them into a solar system with the star (them) in the middle and the planets surrounding the star. This resource contains a layout suggestion, but you can get creative with how you present them whether that’s in a solar system format, a booklet or flipbook. Pupils then complete ten questions at the end to reflect on their solar system, as well as thinking about whether anyone else in the class may share one of their personality planets. This is a great activity that pupils can complete independently as well as creating conversational discussion points for the class.
