This presentation was created to support pupils undertaking a KS3 Art project on globalisation. It investigates a range of information on manga and anime, including: - Popularity inside and outside Japan - Eyes in manga - Examples of manga's visual language, e.g. sweat drops and popping veins - The different types of manga (shonen, shojo, josei and kodomomuke) - The artwork of Akira Toriyama This was originally used alongside an Moodle-based self-marking quiz for assessment purposes. Unfortunately it is not possible to upload backup files of Moodle activities, but hopefully the presentation itself will be of use and interest.

Two worksheets to introduce basic numeracy skills of halving small, even numbers. First worksheet focuses on halving sweets between two children and the second requires pupils to halve the number of dots onto each wing of a ladybird. Hope they are of use to some of you.

A set of printable dot-to-dot images for EYFS and early KS1 classes with pupils learning pencil control and alphabet sequences. Can be coloured in after the drawing has been completed. Images included in this document are a duck, a hen, a car, a fish and a rocket.

This activity was created for a KS2 Religious Studies lesson focusing on key individuals in the story of Passover. The lesson was structured in the following way: - Brief introduction - Video to watch (access to YouTube required) telling the story of Moses, the Israelites and their escape from Egypt following the ten plagues. - Structured questioning activity to ensure pupils have understood key points - Main task - an extended written activity in which pupils have to retell the story of Passover. In completing this task pupils are shown three levels of words (bronze, silver and gold) and they should aim to reach the highest possible level in their work by including all of the words from as many levels as possible. This should encourage pupils to write in more depth.

This presentation was created to be used within a KS3 Art home learning project on the artwork of wildlife artist Charley Harper. Pupils develop an understanding of Harper's 'minimal realism' style. Pupils were encouraged to create their own Harper-inspired animal artwork at the end of the presentation. Originally it also had a Moodle-based self-marking quiz but it is currently not possible to upload such activities. Hopefully the presentation will still be of use and interest to some.

A tornado has swept through Clipart Farm. All of the clipart animals have been broken up into pieces. Your job is to put them back together. The Computing curriculum states that pupils need to be able to create digital artefacts using a range of digital technologies. Creating images is a key element of this. It is important pupils understand the difference between bitmap and vector graphics. This activity aims to help pupils develop an understanding of how vector graphics are composed of layers of simple shapes. They will create a range of graphics by working through a series of levels which will help them to develop skills in resizing, rotating and repositioning the component parts of each graphic. Suitable for KS2 and KS3 students. This activity is completed within PowerPoint but will allow pupils to move on to more advanced illustration software. I hope it is of use and enjoyed by some classes.

This presentation introduces the artwork of German abstract artist Franz Ackermann. It was originally created to support Year 8 KS3 pupils working on a home learning project on globalisation within our culture and its influence on Art. Franz Ackermann travels frequently, and wherever he goes, he makes small drawings and paintings that he calls ''mental maps.'' Back at home, he converts his mental maps into large paintings which use solid, brightly coloured shapes and high-impact graphics. The presentation guides pupils through Ackermann's techniques and several examples of his work. A practical task has been included where pupils must apply what they have learned about Ackermann's artwork to create their own piece of art in Ackermann's style using the outline sketch provided. The presentation was originally supported by a Moodle-based on-screen assessment but it is not possible to upload such resources. Hopefully the presentation and practical activity will still be of interest and use.

This presentation was created to support Year 8 KS3 students working on an Art home learning project about globalisation and Art. It introduces them to: - The term 'globalisation' - The spread of artwork from ancient civilizations such as the Romans - The impact of trade along the Silk Road - The impact of colonialism on the spread of artwork and art techniques - A comparison of very local artists such as John Constable with modern global artists such as Peter Fischli and David Weiss. This presentation was originally supported by a Moodle-based self-marking test to assess student understanding. Unfortunately I can't upload this kind of resource but hopefully the presentation itself will be of interest and use.

Created as a resource for a KS3 Science home learning project. This presentation introduces pupils to some of the adaptations of animals which enable them to survive the challenges of living in tidal pools. Challenges covered include avoiding predators, avoiding being washed out to sea, and surviving rapidly changing temperature and oxygen levels. It should also prove useful for GCSE Biology pupils revising for exams but could also be used with more able KS2 groups. This was originally created to be used alongside a self-marking Moodle-based quiz but as these can't be uploaded I have replaced it with a crossword based on the contents of the presentation.
