Four Pictures, One Word!
This is a great resource for lesson starters, building literacy across the curriculum, plenaries, or simply for fun. Based upon the popular mobile app, this visually engaging activity is highly effective at promoting engagement and getting students thinking about words - many of whom seem to love playing the game on their phones! It is particularly useful for Literacy practitioners who are looking to expand students' vocabularies and/or raise the subject of homonyms.
There are a range of challenges:
Green = Beginner level
Amber= Intermediate level
Red = Expert level
The document is easily editable, so you can also add in your own pictures and challenges. Also, all of the pictures used are licensed for commercial use, and all authors are cited.

Land Art/ Earth Art Project - Lesson 4 - Evaluating!
This engaging and purposeful series of lessons enables children to gradually develop towards creating their own land art/ Earth sculptures. The resources were originally created to guide children towards creating art in the school grounds and a local forest, but the resources can easily be adapted to fit your own particular local landscapes.
This fourth and final lesson helps children to evaluate their land art through:
-Thinking about what they planned to achieve in my land art;
-Considering the process and outcome of my land art;
-Weighing up the strengths and development areas within my land art piece.
Included is a clearly-structured evaluation template and an eye-catching and comprehensive PowerPoint presentation - in combination these resources guide children towards producing thorough and thoughtful evaluations of their land art compositions.
These lessons were originally created for children in year 2, but may be adapted for slightly older and younger year groups.

EYFS Learning in Art - Knowledge Organiser!
This clear, detailed and visually-appealing resource helps to detail and categorise the foundation Art and Design learning that takes place in the EYFS stage.
It is an important resource for EYFS teachers and parents, but also Art and Design subject leaders, to aid them in the development of a clearly-mapped and well-sequenced Art and Design curriculum across the school.
This organiser groups the Art and Design related learning into the relevant EYFS areas of learning - for this subject this is mainly 'Expressive Art and Design’, and particularly the strands ‘Exploring and Using Media and Materials’ and ‘Being Imaginative.’
There are also further sections detailing key vocabulary and art developmental stages.
The resource is designed to be printed onto A3, and is provided as both a PDF and a Word version (so that you can edit if you want to). All images used are licensed for commercial use and are cited on a separate document (included).

The Mona Lisa - Whole Class Reading Comprehension Lesson!
This whole class reading session aims to develop children’s fluency and comprehension skills through reading all about the history and significance of the Mona Lisa. It contains an original 800 word non-fiction information text for the students to read and comprehend.
The reading is followed by a series of activities aiming to develop children’s VIPERS skills: vocabulary, inference, prediction, explanation, retrieval, sequencing and summarising. It also contains a vocabulary check immediately after the extract is read to clarify any unfamiliar/ difficult language.
The tasks are comprised of quick-check questions, solo thinking, pair/ group discussions and deeper thinking activities. The text to read is provided in both PDF and Word format.
The session is best suited for children in upper KS2, however it could easily be used with KS3 students and could feasibly be utilised with slightly younger children, depending upon the individual context of your class.

Introducing Jesus - Representations of Jesus!
In this engaging lesson, students develop their understanding of how Jesus Christ is visually depicted in paintings, focusing on facial expression, body language, his effect on his immediate environment, and other features. They also begin to look at how Jesus has been depicted over time and in different cultures.
The learning is guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation, which guides students through the following step-by-step journey:
-Personal Spirituality - considering how people (including themselves) can be represented;
-Understanding how no one today knows for sure how Jesus looked, and the paintings that we see of him are artists’ representations;
-Analysing how Jesus is represented in some famous paintings of different events in his life;
-Creating their own painting of Jesus from an event in his life, considering how Jesus himself is represented.
This resource pack contains a comprehensive Powerpoint, alongside an eye-catching, and helpful worksheet.
In the past, I have used this lesson with children from across Key Stage 2 - the key learning is aligned with curriculum expectations for RE, and also the content prescribed by most diocese regions. All images are licensed for commercial use.

These lessons were originally created for children in year 2, but may be adapted for slightly older and younger year groups.
