This Unit of Work provides 4 linked lesson plans that guide teaching of skills and techniques associated with 3 dimensional work with an emphasis on diversity of design in different cultures.

Also included for each lesson is a photocopiable information sheet for students, which is written in a student friendly manner.
Students are encouraged through the scheme to analyse 3 dimensional artwork and vessels from cultures other than their own. They are then guided through the development of their own objects.

A simple activity for students when you really need a time filler! A Summer themed Wordsearch. Ideal for form time or to give to early finishers. It might not be what Ofsted want to see, but we all need a resource like this at times!
This simple resource will allow you to show your class how you think they are performing. The slides provide a range of emoticons that can be displayed on the white board.
Perhaps start the lesson with the neutral face (slide 6), and as the lesson progresses, change the slide to either show positive participation (move up through the slides), or areas for improvement (move down through the slides)
Children respond positively to visual stimuli, and this could be an effective way of encouraging self reflection. You could even keep a lesson by lesson tally using the scoring system on each slide so that they are encouraged to beat their last efforts.
