I have ten years experience as an HLTA in a primary school, primarily working with Year 6. Over the years, I have created a bank of resources which I hope may prove useful to others as time savers.

**Cross Stitch Poppy **
Here is a simple, cross stitch pattern of the Poppy – the symbol of remembrance - to use with KS2 pupils, although it may also be suitable for upper years of KS1.
The colour cross stitch pattern chart is on a pdf.
This has coloured crosses. Each cross is equal to one cross stitch.
I have also included some basic cross stitch information/instructions and a photograph of the finished picture.
The pattern is stitched on 6 count binca material using 6 strands of stranded cotton and a blunt tapestry needle.
If you wish the poppy pattern along with information sheets about Flanders Field and the poppy as a symbol of Remembrance, please see my separate resource:

Collection (20) of mini cross stitch motifs:
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12692137
A fun set of mini cross stitch pattern motifs to use with KS2 pupils, although they may be suitable for upper years of KS1 also.
I have designed and completed many cross stitch projects with KS2 pupils. However, many of the simpler motifs could be suitable for Upper KS1.
**There are 20 motifs included in the pack. **
The patterns are all pdfs. They are included in a zip file. Please unzip to access.
Patterns included:
Ship; Globe; Magnifying glass with bug (science); Football; Computer screen; Abc/123/Maths symbols; Sport trophy; Christmas Tree; Holly;
Books; Art; Music; Butterfly; Crown; Bee; Union Flag; Umbrella; Heart.
The motifs range from those which are very simple to complete to others which have more detail to them.
All are quick to sew. Most motifs are approximately 8cm - 10cm (3”- 4”).
.
Each cross on the pattern = one cross stitch. There is also a sheet which contains photos of all the finished motifs as guidance.
The patterns are stitched on 6 count binca material using 6 strands of thread at a time (to create sufficient thickness) and obviously can be completed in any colour combinations.
All lettering on the motifs is completed in back stitch.
The borders can be cross stitched, a simple back stitch or left blank.
I have also included a sheet containing basic ‘how to’ cross stitch/back stitch instructions.
The pack represents good value for money as the motifs are varied and can be used for many different occasions – or just for fun – individually or part of a larger project. A great time saver.
I hope your pupils enjoy cross stitching!
