A pack of resources that includes two comprehension activities based around Erik The Viking book by Terry Jones. There’re also some grammar activities.
This is a comprehension task regarding the Vikings.
For each question they complete accurately, they get to save 1 of the Viking horde from the group at the bottom of the page.
A differentiated, Egyptian themed resource where children have to place apostrophes into the correct places, state whether it is singular or plural and define the key terms.
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,
Miss Austin
