This powerpoint presentation introduces the children to the idea of ‘Spelling Riddles’. They are shown a couple of examples and then Hetti shows them how to make their own using the spellings from the Year 5/6 Word List. Children like a chance to ask the questions! Along with the exclusive concern with the Word List words, the focus is wholly on the child's learning of the words - crucially learning by doing. Initially solving and then creating riddles keeps the child curious, in control and mentally active.  The presentation also introduces them to Hetti from Planet SPaG, who talks about her love of words. Did you know Hetti was able to digest and learn the whole list in just 7 seconds! Included in the package is a copy of the Year 5/6 Word List and a photocopiable grid to help the children create their own Spelling Riddles.

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.
