With over 14 years of primary teaching experience across Key Stage 1 & 2. I am now embarking on NPQSL to build on my experience and develop further my leadership skills. During this time, I have held several subject lead positions; R.E.; School Council Co-ordinator; SEND champion; Music lead; IT lead and currently PSHE lead. Please look through my resources, which I have carefully selected as successful and useful in teaching the primary curriculum.

This lesson was planned in preparation for an Ofsted inspection deep-dive into Art. The aim of the lesson was to continue to learn how to complete a portrait of Henry VIII by using the Grid Method to help plan the proportions of the image so that they match on both sides. **Albeit, not symmetrically. **
This is a complete lesson including planning, PPT and resources, Grid of Henry VIII and complete image of Henry VIII. The focus of the lesson is on Henry VIII by Hans Holbein the Younger Workshop of 1537
The PPT asks the children to first consider the following questions:
What do portraits of Henry VIII tell us about him?
Why is the portrait of Henry VIII important?
Why did the King want a portrait painted?
Then, to compare an alpha male from 1537 to the present day.
Introduces the grid method via a YouTube video, and then onto the task.
The lesson proved to be very pleasing to the children, teacher and ultimately, the Ofsted inspector.
