2. Get Yourself and Your Pupils Set Up for Success
Organisation is a skill we teach by example.
Have the right tools from day one - clearly labelled School Exercise Books, or our RHINO A3 Desk Pads are all great tools for organisation!
Establish routines early: where books live, how to record homework, how to track reading.
Reinforce these habits with gentle reminders and praise, it pays off long term.
3. Tidy, Label & Declutter
Now’s a great time to give your classroom a mini refresh.
Sort out old books, trays and shelves.
Label everything in sight - future-you will thank you.
Stock up on RHINO Exercise Books in subject-specific colours, sizes and rulings, so pupils know exactly where to find what they need.
If you’ve got tinted paper learners or SEN pupils, RHINO also offers Tinted Paper Books and Refill Pads to support accessibility and inclusivity from the very start.
4. Take a Moment for Yourself
You’ve recharged over summer so don’t let it vanish overnight.
Block out some non-negotiable ‘me-time’ in your weekly calendar now, before things get busy.
Set boundaries around work hours before they set themselves.
Pick up a new RHINO notebook just for you, for journalling, big ideas, creative writing, drawing, or just venting when needed.
