This lesson is for Year 3-4 (LKS2) learners, teaching the question ‘Beth wyt ti eisiau bwyta?’ (What do you want to eat?) in Welsh. This could be an extension of ‘Beth wyt ti eisiau?’, ‘Beth wyt ti eisiau wneud?’ or even ‘Beth wyt ti’n hoffi?’. Learners will complete their tally chart, recording which food their peers would want. They can then create a block graph to present their results. This cross-curricular lesson uses mathematical skills as well as developing learners’ Welsh language skills and oracy skills. This resource includes a PowerPoint presentation; a party food word mat in Welsh; templates for learners tally charts; templates for block graphs; large squared paper for learners to draw their own block graphs.

This lesson is aimed at KS2 learners to practice their tonal shading and observational drawing skills. They will complete a tonal drawing ladder by adding layers to each box, before completing an observational drawing - I chose to bring in Quality Streets for the learners to observe up close, but this could easily be adapted. The lesson includes a PowerPoint and the tonal ladder template.
