KS2 Mayan Art Chichen Itza Temple up to 3 Lessons in 1 + Full Colour Children's Instructions

KS2 Mayan Art Chichen Itza Temple up to 3 Lessons in 1 + Full Colour Children's Instructions

(1)
Up to 3 art lessons including: PowerPoint, colour instructions (for the children), self assessment plenary sheet, extra writing activity (for any early finishers) and teachers' notes. Easy to teach as the instructions add an element of reading comprehension, simply hand them the instructions and see if they can figure out what to do - developing lots of thinking and teamwork skills (alternative approaches are also suggested in teachers' notes). 2 - 3 separate lessons in 1 - as the artwork is created in stages with potentially fantastic end results perfect for displays. Children will communicate feelings and moods with colour, practice numerous art techniques, experiment before committing to their finished work and reflect on their success, all with commonly found art materials in primary schools. Multiple options for the materials used you don't need to exactly follow the suggestions - this is explained in the teachers' notes.

KS2 Stone Age Art and DT 6 Lesson COMPLETE Cross-Curricula Unit. Highly Creative, Original and Fun.

(5)
This 6 lesson unit comes with an editable MTP plus 6 separate lesson packs. We have endeavoured to use: new, unconventional, creative and modern ideas that will really engage children, but also use familiar materials for teachers that are common to all schools or easy to obtain. Children will build, discuss, design, plan, create and evaluate throughout, as they construct 3D models including a flint axe, a mask and a Stone Age cave. 2D art includes an impressive Skara Brae scene and a lesson full of experimentation involving studying animal fur. Every lesson has some cross-curricula elements including: reading comprehension, writing, and of course history plus they all come with a custom reflective self-evaluation sheet, all designed to perfectly compliment the new 2014 curriculum. This whole unit is easy to teach, rewarding and will provide many items that children will treasure for a long time. Adaptable for KS1.
