Teaching tenses can be frustrating for many reasons- we were never taught grammar to this extent before, making resources can be tedious and it can be difficult to make them entertaining!
For that reason, and to help out other teachers who are DONE making tenses worksheets time and time again, I thought I’d upload the unit I created and teach with year in and year out!

Differentiated worksheets for children to present artist research, opinion & analysis along with a page for attempting to recreate and replicate the artist’s style.
Sometimes, the way children present their research findings in art isn’t up to scratch with their practical work. This resource gives children the opportunity to show their findings neatly (with sentence starters, word banks and prompts to help guide their writing) and give opinions on the artists’ work.
This resource is re-usable as it’s not artist-specific and gender-neutral pronouns are used. The second version of the artist research page is scaffolded for lower-ability writers.
Included in this download:
3-page PDF for demonstrating knowledge on artists
Word .docx versions of the pages so you can tailor the sheets to your students’ needs
Lost in Chalk font for editing your resources in keeping with the current style
Hand drawn page borders that can be used on other classroom materials (not for commercial use)
Hand-drawn paint tube clip art that can be used on other classroom materials (not for commercial use)
I hope this resource saves you time and stress!
Happy teaching,
