Really enjoyed incorporating this into my lesson with my KS1 class. Would recommend to any primary school teachers!
A really helpful resource which helped me to deliver a great lesson using natural resources to create some amazing art with my Year 5 class. Would highly recommend downloading this as it provided a solid framework to my lesson.
