A personal take on the Twinkl classic. I’ve updated the petal clock design, using cursive writing, cute retro prints, the twenty-four hour digits and also the written minutes.

I used and created this resource as a transition activity for my pupils to identify what aspects makes their ideal learning environment. I prompted their responses: Do you like a tidy workspace? Do you like to work in silence or have quiet music? Do you like to have team or partner talk? **I also used a flower smiley and a rubik’s cube template - initially the rubik’s was aimed more for the boys, although it proved fan favourite. Not a surprise, as my current class are obsessed with rubik’s cubes - niche right? ** You might also get pupils to cut these out, as a motor skills activity. Anyway, I you like them as much as my Year 5’s did!

This lesson is the first of six lessons introducing print-making (preferably for upper KS2). I have created this scheme using skills that I have acquired over the years, training in Print-making throughout my Fine Art degree and teaching Art and Design to KS2 for over 5 years. This has been a really popular scheme for my pupils, which teaches a variety of print-making skills: mono-printing, screen-printing, relief and collagraph (relief) printing. I’ve taught it within the classroom and an art room. It would be worth investing in screens for the screen printing lesson. Resource bundle includes: Lesson plan, Visual Language word mat, Lesson Powerpoint (PDF cursive, PPT and PPT cursive versions available - please note the powerpoints may need slight reformatting depending on your font settings) and accompanying resources/scaffolds. Each lesson includes a starter, modelling for each task, an evalution and an end of the lesson plenary. Slide one: LO: To research printing artists and evaluate their work. Slide two: Starter: What printing techniques have you tried? Slide three: Different types of printing: planar, relief, intaglio Slide four: Word mat Slide five: Self-evaluation with modelling Slide six: End of the lesson quiz Slide seven: End of the lesson quiz (answers)
