Been asked to help provide gifts but everything looks like tat. Do kids want a ruler that says "keep being a shining star?!"
Any help gratefully received.

Geometry set is a good idea
Personalised pencils or pencil case
Leavers T shirt
Personalised shoe or swimming bag

What is the budget?

I am a parent. Rather than a teacher. This is for the goody bag at the party.

After the thread about pupils gifts for teachers it's now gifts for teachers to give pupils!

Since when did the end of the school year becaome a second Christmas?

What happened to children goung to school to learn and teachers going to school to teach? Seems they are now " best buddies" buying presents for each other

I don't know the budget, but one primary school where I taught used some of the Prizegiving budget to give every leaver a geometry set, which they knew to be of the type specified by most of the secondary schools to which our leavers were heading.
A definitely useful gift which they can use and remember their old school.
It's rather late in the day, but and equipment list from their new school might give you other ideas?
