A Complete ART lesson, which includes a detailed PPT, resources and models.
UPDATED FOR 2023
The lesson covers feelings and how they can be expressed through art, children explore their characters (with the help of their friends) and then create a micrography portrait about themselves.
Perfect to help you get to know your class, whilst creating a fantastic display for the wall (ideal for the start of the year) Great for transition day too!
The children will produce a portrait for display.
Ideal for KS2/3

A complete lesson for KS2 linked to PHSCE.
Explore how feelings can be expressed by manipulating the elements of art, particularly line and colour.
Children learn about the main forms of abstract art and then go on to express themselves in a feelings iceberg (to show how they feel on the surface and underneath in different situations)
This was an outstanding lesson in year 5

A complete PHSCE lesson for KS2 based around believing in our potential and raising our aspirations and how other people see us.
Children take part in discussions, role plays and drama. They then become agony aunts and uncles at the end to express their learning.
The planning refers to the text ‘The Bad Seed’ by Jory John. This is a great book which fits in with the plan brilliantly. However, the plan can work well without it too.

**My hugely popular lesson, completely updated and redesigned for the New Year. **
Children will discuss and reflect on their achievements to date. They will discuss what resolutions are, and why we make them at New Year.
They will then go on to plan and write a structured letter to themselves, setting out their hopes and ambitions for the year. They will also make one firm ‘Promise’ or resolution.
The letter can then be opened at a later, specified date.
A fully detailed PowerPoint is included - that also sets out a structure for the letter. Scaffolds, a writing frame and a model letter are also included.

A complete scheme of work, presentations and resources for the book ’ The London Eye Mystery’ by Siobhan Dowd. Aimed at Upper KS2 but easily adaptable. Each lesson is differentiated at least 3 ways.
All lessons are ready to go (the only thing missing is the book!). This unit is genuinely ready to reach and planned to a high quality.

I have zipped the files (as there are over 80 individual documents). However, I have also added some loose documents to show you a sample of the quality. Editable versions are included wherever possible.
There is a free sample lesson available here:https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/the-london-eye-mystery-lesson-2-clauses-and-commas-free-sample-lesson-11696165
Lessons are based on the understanding of the text and its themes, as well as key narrative, and descriptive writing skills. Coverage includes: advanced punctuation, Precise language choices, Characterisation, Mood and atmosphere development, sentence variety and structure, figurative devices and more.
This scheme was incredibly engaging and produced brilliant pieces of writing.
