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.

WAS *£4.99 Lesson pack NOW £1 - Read the reviews
If you are interested in something that is a different yet meaningful cross-curricula learning experience with elements of: wonder, awe, descriptive writing, poetry, philosophy, science, nature, geography, team work, art, appreciation of nature and so much more, then this is for you.
This lesson is called the magical lesson of wonder because that is the desired outcome. A cynic may think that this is just observing nature through microscopes but it is so much more than that in part due to the fascinating web resource used for the lesson and the inspirational writing that is produced by all the children who participate.
Suitable for any age or KS (but designed for KS2 or KS1) as the element of wonder and magic is something that never tires.
You will need microscopes or magnifying glass (USB microscopes ideally) and access to objects from nature or a selection you provide.
Other teachers have used this for their performance management observations and got outstanding too - just read the reviews! This is a hidden gem of TES that is beyond conventional categorisation - so why not treat your class to it today?
Turn down the lights, roll down the blinds, play the music and begin the magical lesson of wonder.
This KS2 character descriptions lesson contains starter, teaching input, example for modelled writing, peer-assessment and further plenary activity on the PowerPoint PLUS all worksheets and teachers' notes for a complete and thorough lesson pack.

Starter, teaching input, example for modelled writing, peer-assessment and further plenary activity are all included on the PowerPoint for a complete and thorough lesson.
Learning activities involve discussion, planning and then describing a character in a narrative style using the techniques taught in the lesson. Best suited for KS2 but could be applied to a higher ability Y2 class. Full teachers’ notes included too.
It is intended to slot into a unit either about story writing, fiction or any narrative theme, but can be used as a stand-alone English lesson if required.
