8 Inspirational Colour Sketches

8 Inspirational Colour Sketches

4 Resources
These 8 lively, colourful pictures offer inspiration for story-writing, poetry-crafting, newspaper report inventing, and enhancement of the topics they reflect, which include: wild woods, migrating birds, ocean, sunset, jungle, wild animals (British and tropical), dragons, magic carpet rides, transport, myths and more. NB: I sketched and coloured the pictures by hand, adjusting them slightly with basic computer software, so expect spontaneity rather than professional artwork or machine neatness. I use them for all primary classes.

Eco-friendly poem - 'The World is Watching!'

(0)
This free poem draws attention to how precious our world is through simple, meaningful concepts, such as the importance of not leaving lights and taps on or letting litter wash into the sea. The lines are short, punchy and rhyming for easy listening. I wrote the piece with schools in mind, and am offering it free for classroom use. Suitable for KS1/2 . Can be read out in sections for youngest children, with accompanying actions, and given out for individual reading for oldest, then used for discussion or as a spur for individual writing or artwork.
