This resource has been developed by artists working with KS2 pupils and teachers to create beautiful lanterns which can be used for any celebratory event, to decorate the school or be part of a parade or procession outside of school. The scheme of work planning is divided into 6 parts which can be spread over a half term or be done over a whole day or for an arts week activity. There are video links in the planning to how other groups have made and used lanterns and assessment guides at the end of each session. The learning objectives cover how to design, develop and produce a 3 dimensional form using linear sticks which can then be decoratively covered to create beautiful illuminated lanterns. This unit has many cross curricular links for example with geometry in maths, circuits and electricity in science and community development and culture in PSHCE The plans offer a step by step, recipe approach yet still offering opportunities for differentiation, creativity and extension activities for every student. The power point also has very easy to follow methods and materials lists and diagrams.
