I created this template for an art project that I did with my P1 class. We learnt about Wassily Kandinsky, studied his famous ‘circles’ and then created our own using oil pastels and the templates. This linked with the literacy learning for the week as the sound was ‘ai’. (snail)

I created this traffic light resource to support formative assessment within the classroom. I printed, laminated and cut these out and put one on each of my students desks. I put a counter on each traffic light and asked the pupils to move them to the colour depending on how they felt the lesson went, what their understanding was etc. This allowed me to assess their understanding throughout and after a lesson.
