DIY newspaper-poster design for graduation for 9th or 11th grade
The purpose of publishing such a newspaper is the desire to congratulate yesterday’s schoolchildren, maintain an atmosphere of mutual understanding and goodwill, and contribute to the formation of bright memories among graduates of the years spent at school.
Before publishing the newspaper, it is necessary to carry out preparatory work: collect photographs, conduct a survey of teachers and schoolchildren. It is advisable that the questionnaires contain questions about the most interesting and memorable events at school, about funny and instructive incidents in the classroom, about the professions that graduates have chosen for themselves.
We are all from childhood
The future depends on the past. Therefore, it will be useful for graduates to travel through time using a wall newspaper. You can name the newspaper like this: “Graduate – 2018” or “This will never happen again!” There may be other options, but a desirable subtitle is “Time Travel.” It is best to highlight four sections: “A Man Is Born,” “School Time,” “Ten Years Later,” and “Today! We say bon voyage to you!”
- In the “A Person Is Born” section, photographs of graduates aged 0 to 1 or 2 years will look great. They should be asked from parents in advance, and let it be a surprise for graduates. It is better not to sign the photographs, but only to number them, do computer processing and be creative in their placement. Graduates will be happy to tell their fortunes about who is who. You can even organize a competition - “Who is the most observant?” Photos of children cannot but evoke joy, tenderness, and the kindest feelings both among the graduates themselves and among everyone who is interested in the newspaper.
- In the second section, “School Time,” it is appropriate to place several photographs illustrating the school life of graduates from grades 1 to 11. It would be good if original signatures were made for them. These could be episodes in class, at extracurricular activities, or during breaks. The results of a survey of teachers and schoolchildren are posted in this section. Listing favorite events, achievements, pearls from school essays, funny incidents in the classroom - all this will arouse interest and the kindest memories of school.
- The third section, “Ten Years Later,” is an attempt to look into the future. What will school graduates be like in 10 years? What kind of professions will they acquire, what positions will they occupy, what successes will they achieve? Profiles of graduates, where they shared their plans, and the friendly imagination of teachers will help you look into the future. It’s good if the future is shown using a drawing or collage. You can also make a vivid description of this event.
- In the “Today! We say bon voyage to you!” , of course, the wishes of the director, head teacher, psychologist, teachers. It is better if they are handwritten or in italics. Here you can place a photo of the school, or the entire graduating class, with the school in the background.
Where can I install a photo zone?
On the street
The best option for good weather without wind. If you’re lucky and there’s no bright sun, which creates too dark shadows on your faces, that’s generally great. Natural light most often helps those who take pictures with a smartphone camera.
Think in advance about how to set up a photo zone, taking into account the location of the sun at the time of day when the event is planned (it should not be behind the banner). The structure must be stable, as a small gust of wind can cause irreparable damage. It is best to place a photo zone near the wall of the building. Children, parents and teachers will be happy to take memorable shots.
In the school foyer, in a restaurant
A photo zone is often placed in the hall for gathering guests (the organizers call this place a welcome zone). This is the foyer (if there is a holiday at school), an additional room next to the banquet hall (if the graduation is in a restaurant), etc. Graduates may pose for photographs with additional lighting equipment while the event is ongoing. There will be a lot of good quality footage.
On stage in the assembly hall
This option is chosen for the sake of economy. On the one hand, this is a beautiful thematic design of the stage during the official part or entertainment program. On the other hand, there is a spectacular photo zone, which is well lit by the upper and lower spotlights. There is only one downside - you need to take photos after the event; not everyone has the patience to wait for their turn.
Wall newspaper for 4th grade graduates
The end of 4th grade is also a very important event in the life of schoolchildren. The first teacher, seeing off his students, must, of course, express his wishes. It would be good if they were heard both in oral speech and read by children in the wall newspaper. The graduates' attention will be attracted by the drawing of a large tree on a sheet of Whatman paper. At the base of the tree there is an envelope, and on the trunk there are many kind words and wishes from the first teacher. The envelope contains green leaves cut from adhesive paper. Fourth graders can, if they wish, take pieces of paper and, after writing kind words of gratitude to their teacher and school, stick them to the branches of the tree. Thus, the tree will very soon become green and beautiful, and everyone will be able to see the fruits of education.
Another sheet of Whatman paper can be divided into two parts. On one, place photographs illustrating various events from the life of the class team. Here you can talk about the class’s achievements over 4 years, post short funny and amazing stories.
The rest of the newspaper can be used for information from future subject teachers, from a psychologist and social educator, from the class teacher. Teachers will contribute to the process of successful adaptation of future fifth-graders if they tell in advance how impatiently they are waiting for their students in their classrooms, what important and interesting discoveries they will make. Studying at a basic school is not easy, but thanks to joint efforts, success will be ensured!

Graduation decoration Last call decoration Balloon launching
The hall where the school farewell ceremony takes place is always decorated with balloons and flowers. A mandatory attribute of the event is a school wall newspaper for the graduation party, which is drawn by students heading off to adulthood. It's no secret that graduates have absolutely no time to prepare for the holiday - all their free hours are taken up by preparing for exams. To prevent the decoration of the hall from negatively affecting your grades, we suggest that you download a ready-made wall newspaper template from our website, which you just have to color and fill with holiday poems.
A wall newspaper for a graduation party is a sketch of a festive poster consisting of 8 fragments. A painted picture is no different from an original piece of art and looks much more attractive than a factory poster.
Preparation and sketching

Material for the poster: photographs, clippings from newspapers and magazines (in case there was an article about one of the students or teachers) are put in a separate folder. To fill out text blocks, a student with beautiful calligraphic handwriting is required.

Not only children, but also adults want to remember the last evening in kindergarten, because on this day their little one takes a step towards new knowledge. Educators and parents must decide what the wall newspaper will be like for graduation. At the same time, the kindergarten can take part in this event on its own and give such a gift to the kids. Or the second option is to stick voluminous children’s crafts on the wall newspaper.
In the first case, the wall newspaper will be made by the hands of adults, as a gift for a children's party. And not only educators should take part in this work, but also cooks, psychologists, speech therapists, doctors - everyone who contributed to caring for the children.
