In this STEAM project these three PowerPoint lessons will take you through a series of intriguing processes enabling your children to create some amazing pieces of art - both drawings and sculptures. To create this 3-dimensional drawing, you will need just a few simple materials - three sticks, three elastic bands, white masking tape, and a bundle of ‘centre cane’. Project 1 takes the children through the simple process of creating their initial sculpture. Project 2 uses that sculpture as a template to create some unique drawings. Project 3 has ideas for combining the two to make further amazing sculptures. In terms of the NC Art & Design this project will: - improve mastery of art and design techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture with a range of materials (KS2) - increase proficiency in the handling of different materials (KS3) The Teacher’s Notes give further ideas and advice as to the best materials to use.

Here is a riddle - ‘What do you say to a man in shining armour at the end of the day?’ The answer to this riddle (which you can find near the bottom of this page) is a pair of homophones. Children both love solving riddles and also creating their own. In this activity they work in pairs to create their own riddle-poems. This material can be used across KS1 – KS3 to both introduce the concept of homophones to younger children and for re-visiting it in subsequent years to consolidate the children’s knowledge. In the PowerPoint presentation the children are introduced to the friendly alien creatures Korb and Riya who both live on the far away planet of SPaG. They explain to the children what a homophone is and then show them how they can work in pairs to create teasing riddle-poems. The answer to each riddle-poem is always a pair of homophone words. The basis of the activity is an exciting word game which is played in pairs. To play the game you are provided with a photocopiable grid of 32 squares featuring 16 different homophones. This resource is intended to foster youngster’s confidence and skill in navigating the quirks of English spelling, by making it a game to engage with, rather than a problem to worry about. Look out for another Goodeyedeers resource called ‘Homophone Riddles’ - where you will once again meet the delightful Korb. The answer to the riddle at the top of this page is – Night Knight!
