I have ten years experience as an HLTA in a primary school, primarily working with Year 6. Over the years, I have created a bank of resources which I hope may prove useful to others as time savers.

Here is a simple quick to make Easter Egg cross stitch patterns - to use with KS2 pupils, although it may also be suitable for upper years of KS1.
The colour cross stitch pattern chart is on a pdf. The eggs can be completed in any colour. Pictures and patterns are a guide only.
This has coloured crosses. Each cross is equal to one cross stitch.
I have also included some basic cross stitch information/instructions.
Would be great to use as front of a Handmade Easter Card or as a lovely framed picture!
Finished size of each egg: approx: 5cm x 4cm on 6 count binca. If stitched on 14 count aida, the finished picture will be smaller.
The pattern is stitched on 6 count binca material using 6 strands of stranded cotton and a blunt tapestry needle.
Here are some further easy to make cross stitch patterns for binca cross stitch fabric. Pictures can be stitched on aida fabric also, but the finished pictures would be smaller:

KS2 Powerpoint - Descriptive Writing Paragraph Models:

These paragraphs can be used to illustrate key features of KS2 descriptive writing. Can also be used as ideas/models for story starters.
Key Features:
Modelling creative language choices/figurative language; kS2 grammatical features such as embedded clauses; varied sentence starters and structures; fronted adverbials; expanded noun phrases.
Used when working with small groups of Year 6 pupils tasked with writing their own short narrative paragraph(s).
Suitable for KS2.
A fun set of mini cross stitch pattern motifs to use with KS2 pupils, although they may be suitable for upper years of KS1 also.
I have designed and completed many cross stitch projects with KS2 pupils. However, many of the simpler motifs could be suitable for Upper KS1.
**There are 20 motifs included in the pack. **
The patterns are all pdfs. They are included in a zip file. Please unzip to access.
Patterns included:
Ship; Globe; Magnifying glass with bug (science); Football; Computer screen; Abc/123/Maths symbols; Sport trophy; Christmas Tree; Holly;
Books; Art; Music; Butterfly; Crown; Bee; Union Flag; Umbrella; Heart.
The motifs range from those which are very simple to complete to others which have more detail to them.
All are quick to sew. Most motifs are approximately 8cm - 10cm (3”- 4”).
.
Each cross on the pattern = one cross stitch. There is also a sheet which contains photos of all the finished motifs as guidance.
The patterns are stitched on 6 count binca material using 6 strands of thread at a time (to create sufficient thickness) and obviously can be completed in any colour combinations.
All lettering on the motifs is completed in back stitch.
The borders can be cross stitched, a simple back stitch or left blank.
I have also included a sheet containing basic ‘how to’ cross stitch/back stitch instructions.
The pack represents good value for money as the motifs are varied and can be used for many different occasions – or just for fun – individually or part of a larger project. A great time saver.
I hope your pupils enjoy cross stitching!
