What to take to matching panel

2 replies

We have matching panel in July (for a 7y/o AS).

I am aware that we need to take something by way of introductions, but haven't been told what is required.

The facebook group I am on shows some stuff, but I think more suited to a 2 or 3 year old.

Any thoughts much appreciated,

Firstly congratulations. We have panel in July also. We have been asked to get ready a 10minute video, photo album, cuddly toy and laminated pictures! So we are very busy! They should tell you soon so you have time to prepare maybe ask you SW?

Hi congratulations - my son was 7 as well.
I did a photo album with key people in it, - grandparents, my closest friends and their children, a few other immediate family members, the cat. Also photos of the house, his room, places we would visit a lot - library, park, shope etc, his new school if you know it.
It was just photos with captions, if you know he has any particular interests you could include something on that. My son loves maps so I put a map of our city at the map and captioned it Can you find our street ( I included the name of our road)

The teddy bear I was giving him featured in the photos. The DVD was just a tour of the house but at the end I sat on his bed and read a story, I had the teddy bear on my knee and the cat sat next to me.
Goos luck - its an exciting time
