Full day
By Grace

I've always had a full day.
We discuss what rules and procedures we need to make the class work properly.
Divide the class up and let them design a poster for each rule or procedure so they have ownership.
Try
some circle time activities.
I usually try to do a listening activity of some kind.
I may read a simple poem with lots of repetition and let them learn it so they have learnt something new their first day.
Listen to some marching music and clap along.
Teach a new song.
Do some brain gym exercises.
Read a good story( or 2, morning and afternoon).
Do some mental maths

activities.
Write a short report of the holiday or the best thing in the holiday and illustrate it. Read your report to a partner. Stick them in a book and add to your library for all to read.
You'll be fine so long as you keep the activities short and snappy. Move them around a lot.
Be firm but smile a lot. Good luck.
