This fun art/DT lesson involves designing and creating amazing wearable astronaut helmets that your class will love. Complete full-colour graphic and written instructions allow your class to practice reading comprehension and team work skills whilst also undertaking a challenging yet engaging creative activity. Reflective self-evaluation sheets included, plus writing activity for early finishers. Designed as a part of a 6 lesson art & DT unit (available to buy from the TES) intended to match Space topics or learning, but will work as a stand-alone discrete pair of lessons: one lesson to make and then the second to paint.

This complete lesson requires children study and learn to appreciate the detail and beauty of natural objects from multiple viewpoints. The lesson is very easy to teach and comes with an extension activity for any early finishers and reflective self-evaluation sheets are also included for a plenary activity. Brief PowerPoint introduction introduces learning objectives and demonstrates what needs to be done for the lesson. Perfect for any primary age as differentiated by outcome and matches local area study, nature or woodland topics. Also suitable for a discrete art lesson any time of year. This is one lesson from a 6 lesson whole unit on nature art and local area studies.

7 lesson unit including an editable MTP plus 7 separate lesson packs. Everything you need for a half term's worth of engaging and original art and DT is here, matching perfectly with any Space or planet Earth topic and the 2014 curriculum. We have endeavoured to use: new, unconventional, creative and modern ideas that will really engage children, but also use familiar materials for teachers that are common to all schools or easy to obtain. Children will build, discuss, design, plan, create and evaluate throughout, as they construct 3D models and 2D art including the unit's culmination: a study of the Earth's structure leading onto a lesson full of experimentation, creativity, challenge and purpose. Every lesson has cross-curricula elements including: reading comprehension, writing, geography and science plus a reflective self-evaluation sheet. This whole unit is easy to teach, rewarding and will provide many items that children will treasure for a long time. Adaptable for KS1

Complete lesson pack that lasts up to 2 hours, with starter, teaching input and peer-assessment based plenary all on the included PowerPoint. Children discuss, plan and then create inspiring writing based upon an inspiring, historical story starter writing prompt. The planning sheet asks thought provoking questions ensuring an original, well thought out piece of cross-curricula writing that is full of their own ideas. Other writing genres can also be applied to the plan. Suitable for big writing, creative writing, assessment, moderation or just a regular English lesson. There is also a creative drawing sheet included and lined writing sheet. Variable length: can be done in 1 hr or extended to nearer 2 hrs if required. Children will also practice empathy skills and have the opportunity to demonstrate their historical knowledge. Make sure you check out our other Vikings lessons too!

Based around abstract art, this lesson has been taught with great success to EYFS/Year 1 children, Year 4 children and Year 6 children with fantastic results in every year group. Children access and interpret the work on different levels, it is differentiated by outcome to an extent, although differentiation suggestions are included. Whichever age undertakes this work the result has always been beautiful large scale pieces of art that look incredible when framed or just mounted on display. This lesson involves children using their imagination and creativity whilst simultaneously enhancing their technical, observation and replication skills. The lesson is designed so that children collaborate in groups to slowly and precisely create large scale work but the lesson can be easily adapted for pair or individual work. Allow 2 hours for completion. Contains easy to understand teachers' notes and 7 full colour art images for the lesson.

This fun yet challenging, cross-curricula lesson has elements of: computing, history and writing, all built into a lesson centred around independent learning. Children will complete a series of engaging tasks including labelling a graphic of a Stone Age man with researched information on clothing and possessions, learning what a person from that time may have owned and building their understanding of life was really like in the time period. They then complete 3 written activities and an extension activity based upon that knowledge they have gained. Activities include framing historically-valid questions, critical thinking and drawing comparisons: all aspects of the new 2014 curriculum. The activities are designed to elicit a deeper level of thought and understanding of the era. Can be taught as two separate hour long lessons but better over one longer session, contains starter and plenary, made for KS2 but accessible to higher ability KS1 and lower ability KS3.
