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.

KS2 Mayan Civilization - Engaging Inspiring Independent Learning Cross-Curricula Time Detectives

(0)
This fantastic, fun, challenging, cross-curricula lesson is packed with learning and has elements of: computing, history, writing and speaking and listening, built into a lesson centred around independent learning and research. Children will be using and applying the historical learning they acquire creatively, as they work through the challenges of the lesson. An optional competitive element, combined with the fun of potentially becoming a Time Detective (and earning a Time Detective badge) create added motivation and increased engagement towards the learning. Children research in a holistic way building up a bigger picture of life the time period and then present their creations providing you with an assessment opportunity and a chance to decide the winners. The lesson ideal for either the beginning, middle or end of a history topic or unit. Can be done in an hour but better over two, contains starter and plenary. Made for KS2 but accessible to more able KS1 and less able KS3

Simply Beautiful Art Lesson. Suitable for KS2 KS1 and EYFS. Can Create Stunning End Results

(0)
Based around abstract art, this lesson has been taught with great success to EYFS/Year 1 children, Year 4 children and Year 6 children with fantastic results in every year group. Children access and interpret the work on different levels, it is differentiated by outcome to an extent, although differentiation suggestions are included. Whichever age undertakes this work the result has always been beautiful large scale pieces of art that look incredible when framed or just mounted on display. This lesson involves children using their imagination and creativity whilst simultaneously enhancing their technical, observation and replication skills. The lesson is designed so that children collaborate in groups to slowly and precisely create large scale work but the lesson can be easily adapted for pair or individual work. Allow 2 hours for completion. Contains easy to understand teachers' notes and 7 full colour art images for the lesson.
