Up to 3 art lessons including: PowerPoint, colour instructions (for the children), self assessment plenary sheet, extra writing activity (for any early finishers) and teachers' notes.
Easy to teach as the instructions add an element of reading comprehension, simply hand them the instructions and see if they can figure out what to do - developing lots of thinking and teamwork skills (alternative approaches are also suggested in teachers' notes).
2 - 3 separate lessons in 1 - as the artwork is created in stages with potentially fantastic end results perfect for displays.
Children will communicate feelings and moods with colour, practice numerous art techniques, experiment before committing to their finished work and reflect on their success, all with commonly found art materials in primary schools.
Multiple options for the materials used you don't need to exactly follow the suggestions - this is explained in the teachers' notes.
This fun yet challenging, cross-curricula lesson has elements of: computing, history and writing, all built into a lesson centred around independent learning.
Children will complete a series of engaging tasks including labelling a graphic of a Viking with researched information on clothing and possessions, learning what a person from that time may have owned and building their understanding of life was really like in the time period. They then complete 3 written activities and an extension activity based upon that knowledge they have gained.
Activities include framing historically-valid questions, critical thinking and drawing comparisons: all aspects of the new 2014 curriculum. The activities are designed to elicit a deeper level of thought and understanding of the era.
Can be taught as two separate hour long lessons but better over one longer session, contains starter and plenary, made for KS2 but accessible to higher ability KS1 and lower ability KS3

These 10 worksheets all have short stories (c.100 words each) with the full stops missing. Designed for repeated practice to help children who find it hard to accurately add full stops to their writing, whatever age or key stage whilst also improving reading comprehension skills and the ability to check their work for errors.
Stories contain full colour images and are designed to be interesting to children and spark discussion regarding where a full stop goes and how the end of a sentence is identified.
Extension would be to check, peer assess and add capital letters or to continue the story with accurate sentence boundary demarcation. All images sourced from openclipart.com

If you are interested in something that is a different yet meaningful cross-curricula learning experience with elements of: wonder, awe, descriptive writing, poetry, philosophy, science, nature, geography, team work, art, appreciation of nature and so much more, then this is for you.
This lesson is called the magical lesson of wonder because that is the desired outcome. A cynic may think that this is just observing nature through microscopes but it is so much more than that in part due to the fascinating web resource used for the lesson and the inspirational writing that is produced by all the children who participate.
Suitable for any age or KS (but designed for KS2 or KS1) as the element of wonder and magic is something that never tires.
You will need microscopes or magnifying glass (USB microscopes ideally) and access to objects from nature or a selection you provide.
Other teachers have used this for their performance management observations and got outstanding too - just read the reviews! This is a hidden gem of TES that is beyond conventional categorisation - so why not treat your class to it today?
Turn down the lights, roll down the blinds, play the music and begin the magical lesson of wonder.
