Identity Day 2023 - South Plympton Junior School

On Friday 7 July, our South Plympton Junior School students from Year 1 to Year 6 will take part in Identity Day. This is a chance for your child(ren) to share something special about themselves with the whole school.

Foundation students will be working on a project “About Me” in their class with their teacher.

Identity Day Display Subject Criteria

We ask that parents help their child choose one part of his or her identity to create a desk top display using a small cardboard box for the event. Asking the following questions may help with this process:

• Is this part of your identity important to you?
• Is it interesting for others to see or learn about?
• Is it unique or something not everyone does?
• Is it small enough to fit on a table with other student displays?
• Is it different from the display you made two years ago?

Creating the Display

Your child's display should be something about them. Objects, photos and other materials for the display will come from home. Your child should begin gathering and preparing everything they need now, but please keep the display items at home until the week of the event.

The Big Day

On Friday 7 July, the last day of Term 2, each student's display will go on a table in the EPAC, and classes will take turns hosting (i.e. standing by their displays and answering questions) as parents, staff and other students file by to have a look. All items will be safe and supervised, and classroom doors will be locked when the class is not hosting.

Invitation

Parents and caregivers are warmly invited to attend.
