This clear, detailed and visually-appealing resource helps to detail and categorise the foundation Art and Design learning that takes place in the EYFS stage. It is an important resource for EYFS teachers and parents, but also Art and Design subject leaders, to aid them in the development of a clearly-mapped and well-sequenced Art and Design curriculum across the school. This organiser groups the Art and Design related learning into the relevant EYFS areas of learning - for this subject this is mainly 'Expressive Art and Design’, and particularly the strands ‘Exploring and Using Media and Materials’ and ‘Being Imaginative.’ There are also further sections detailing key vocabulary and art developmental stages. The resource is designed to be printed onto A3, and is provided as both a PDF and a Word version (so that you can edit if you want to). All images used are licensed for commercial use and are cited on a separate document (included).

This whole class reading session aims to develop children’s fluency and comprehension skills through reading all about the history and significance of the Mona Lisa. It contains an original 800 word non-fiction information text for the students to read and comprehend. The reading is followed by a series of activities aiming to develop children’s VIPERS skills: vocabulary, inference, prediction, explanation, retrieval, sequencing and summarising. It also contains a vocabulary check immediately after the extract is read to clarify any unfamiliar/ difficult language. The tasks are comprised of quick-check questions, solo thinking, pair/ group discussions and deeper thinking activities. The text to read is provided in both PDF and Word format. The session is best suited for children in upper KS2, however it could easily be used with KS3 students and could feasibly be utilised with slightly younger children, depending upon the individual context of your class.

In this engaging lesson, students develop their understanding of how Jesus Christ is visually depicted in paintings, focusing on facial expression, body language, his effect on his immediate environment, and other features. They also begin to look at how Jesus has been depicted over time and in different cultures. The learning is guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation, which guides students through the following step-by-step journey: -Personal Spirituality - considering how people (including themselves) can be represented; -Understanding how no one today knows for sure how Jesus looked, and the paintings that we see of him are artists’ representations; -Analysing how Jesus is represented in some famous paintings of different events in his life; -Creating their own painting of Jesus from an event in his life, considering how Jesus himself is represented. This resource pack contains a comprehensive Powerpoint, alongside an eye-catching, and helpful worksheet. In the past, I have used this lesson with children from across Key Stage 2 - the key learning is aligned with curriculum expectations for RE, and also the content prescribed by most diocese regions.
