Easter
is a Christian festival celebrated close to the beginning of Spring.
If you celebrate Easter you may wish to encourage children to link
their design to this. If you are studying Romans you may wish to
link the idea of mosaic designs to this, perhaps incorporating some
Roman style patterns. The egg design reflects a springtime theme
as well as Christian symbolism.
Although
children are provided with a basic template of an 'egg' outline,
there is a large design element to this project.
The
children will need to decide on the following:
• What to make - they may choose to make a picture/wall
hanging or a tile. Again, the latter may fit well with a study of
the Romans. For a picture/wall hanging you may wish children to
use card as a base, or even fabric. For a tile, stiff card is probably
best, although a large (approximately 20cm x 20cm) tile might be
an alternative.
•
What decorative patterns to use - some suggestions are provided
for particular mosaic patterns. These do not have to be used. Children
will have ideas of their own and could also be encouraged to seek
other ideas from books and/or the Internet.
• Background design - the children will need to decide
on the background pattern for their egg design. This may affect
the orientation of their picture, so they will also need to decide
if their project will be 'landscape' or 'portrait' before they begin.
Their project can then be made on a square or rectangular shaped
base as appropriate.
• Materials to be used - ideally, a wide range of materials
should be available from which they can choose those most appropriate
to their design.

You
Can Make pupil instructions plus templates for making a springtime
mosaic picture are provided here.
|
| |
| These
can be printed off and then photocopied. Depending on the age/ability
of the children, these could be used individually or worked through
with an adult. Each child should be given a copy of these instructions
even if an adult is working with them. They can be given as complete
A4 sheets or cut up into individual activity cards. One purpose of
this task is to help children to develop the ability to work from
a set of instructions. |

Welcome
to the Key Stage 2 Spring Term resource material. The Art & Design project is the creation of a springtime mosaic.
The
pupil information sheets 'Did You Know?' contain information about
spring and Easter, with additional items on mosaics.
In
addition a range of Literacy Support Activities are included, these
are:
• Spelling (words identified through SATS as those children of this
age band find difficult.)
• Homophones.
• Punctuation exercise.
• Synonyms and antonyms.
• Direct and reported speech.
• Common expressions (based on the word 'egg'.)
• Prepositions.
