Ideas for displays in your classroom from word walls to maths and english help. What do we need to include on our walls? Children's work is a must. They need some where to show off their progress, and they should know that you are proud of their work - why else would you be putting it up on the wall for everyone to see? Children's best work should be changed regulary to keep this, 'well done' philosophy in tact. Each time you should congratulate the pupil on their work to make them feel good. Of course this does tend to think that, that child did their best in producing this work. Something else has to be placed on your wall apart from just student's work.

I also think a roleplay area wouldn't go amiss in every year in a primary school, including year 6. 1. Children need help with vocabulary in their work so help them and put alot of words on the wall. The idea behind this display - What words can you Steal? This is in my NQT year. Non of the words stuck onto this board are mine. The word wall has evolved - The Great Wall of Words My latest word wall - Our Word Wall 2. 5 ways to make 'stained glass windows' without any glass - Engage Today. Rate this article (27 Votes) This is an extremely versatile craft. First, select a frame: use our basic A5 window template or design a shape to fit in with your own theme.

Second, choose a technique to decorate the ‘glass’ appropriate to the ability of the children in your group. Step 1 – making the frame Cut out the frame from card using a craft knife or pointed scissors. If you decide to design your own frame then bear in mind the following points: Large apertures become fragile and may sag – if you decide to scale up our A5 window template to an A4 you may need to cut out 9 holes instead of 4. Step 2 – decorating the ‘glass’ Sticky backed plastic and tissue paper This is the easiest method for young children. Cut a piece of sticky backed plastic a little bit larger than the windows.

Top tip – don’t worry about any uncovered sticky patches as these will enable it to cling to the window unaided. Acetate and tissue paper This is another simple method for very young children.

Background We’ve run a 5 day cross-school Art’s Week in our school for 5 years now, and experienced some extraordinarily successful outcomes.

Here is my advice on setting these up, what to expect, and what to avoid The Events Every year, our entire school go off timetable for at least one whole week for our annual Art’s Week. A key feature of our events is that they are open to everyone in the school – yes, all 400 pupils ! Why We Run An Arts Week The benefits of this type of large off timetable event really are quite extraordinary – and Arts Week has become the highlight of our school year. Inspiring Our Pupils – The anticipation of an event such as an Art’s Week is incredible.

It Really Is Fun – Yes, fun ! How To Run An Arts Week At Your School And so, enough of why we run an Art’s Week. Getting StartedWe tend to like our events to have a unifying ‘theme’ or single source of inspiration. My Checklist ! Start the ‘buzz’ early. Good luck. Abc does: Creativity. Phew, what a week - and it isn't over yet! It started in Millstead Special Primary School in Liverpool where I was working with staff looking at the implementation of an EYFS approach across the school. Millstead has children with various levels of need from PMLD (Profound and Multiple Learning Disability) to those with ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder). It was a truly amazing two days from which I learned so much. There is HUGE potential for learning for many of the children at this school which would be significantly enhanced by running an EYFS approach. I will post more about this soon when I have done a little more research and got more feedback on the strategies that we decided to put into place.

Today I was in Chester, modelling! Victoria are about to have a new building and since they are just outside where the original walls of Chester would have been they had to have an archaeological dig on the school field before the builders could be given the go ahead. We are all mark making! Object moved. Object moved.

The Painted Page | the princess and the pea. July 18, 2011 The Princess and the Pea “Well, we’ll soon find that out,” thought the old queen. But she said nothing, went into the bed-room, took all the bedding off the bedstead, and laid a pea on the bottom; then she took twenty mattresses and laid them on the pea, and then twenty eider-down beds on top of the mattresses. April 11, 2011 The Princess and the Pea One evening a terrible storm came on; there was thunder and lightning, and the rain poured down in torrents. It was a princess standing out there in front of the gate.

March 7, 2011 The Princess and the Pea ONCE upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess; but she would have to be a real princess. “The Princess and the Pea” returns Monday, April 4.Join us next week for “The Nightingale”, illustrated by Carolyn Le. Princess and the pea illustrated story online. The Princess and the Pea by Hans Christian Andersen. Stories by Hans Christian Andersen The Princess and the Pea There was once a prince, and he wanted a princess, but then she must be a real Princess.

He travelled right round the world to find one, but there was always something wrong. There were plenty of princesses, but whether they were real princesses he had great difficulty in discovering; there was always something which was not quite right about them. So at last he had to come home again, and he was very sad because he wanted a real princess so badly. One evening there was a terrible storm; it thundered and lightened and the rain poured down in torrents; indeed it was a fearful night. In the middle of the storm somebody knocked at the town gate, and the old King himself went to open it. It was a princess who stood outside, but she was in a terrible state from the rain and the storm.

Paula Hart's Photos. tArt-and-Design. Portrait lesson Powerpoint. In the Style of Picasso: Portraits. Picasso is always a hit with the kids. I especially like doing self portraits in his style as it allows the students to be a bit more open without the inevitable "I don't know how to draw....or I'm just not good at this" type comments. (Seems to hit at Grade 4) I have 2 methods to show you. When describing the portrait I ask the students to see how he represents both the head on view and the side view together. . - watercolor paper or heavy sketch/drawing paper- pencil, eraser- access to mirrors or use the partner method- tempera disk paint- sharpies or markers- mounting paper To start get the students to draw an oval face with a neck and shoulders.

Now if they have access to mirrors (class set of Dollar Store hand mirrors works well), have them draw a line down the center of the oval, (can be off kilter for a different look). Now if you don't have access to mirrors a simple solution is to have the students working in pairs sketching their neighbor. Paint in all your sections. That's it.
