This resource activity contains 2x all about me bunting and flag templates in PDF format for students to complete with details about themselves and to colour in and develop on the design to show their individual personalities. A perfect activity for back to school in class, tutor time or as a set piece for homework. It would make a lovely display or a timecapsule piece for students to look back on at the end of their secondary school career.
The individual bunting triangles could be used to make a hanging display in your classroom (there is a flap across the top to fold over a string) and the flag design would make a lovely wall display.
The resource is aimed at secondary aged students - mostly new year 7 students starting secondary, however it can easily be used with other KS3 year groups.
Questions on the bunting include things such as, name, birthday, self portrait frame, favourite book and subjects.
Please note this resource is an activity with templates and student instructions not for a full lesson powerpoint.
