This Unit of work on Symbolism in Art is suitable for both KS2 and KS3. There is a wealth of information and resources laid out in chronological order – simply decide on how long you wish to spend on each aspect of the topic.

Pupils then analyse Holbein’s ‘The Ambassadors’ and investigate the symbols found within the painting. Many fascinating and intriguing stories are hidden within this painting. Unpick the stories by interpreting the symbols. Sketching & Drawing: The children are challenged to invent their own symbols for a number of abstract nouns. Investigating Colour: The children learn that colours can be used as symbols too. Using colours as symbols is introduced through a matching game, then applied to their own symbols. Telling Stories with Symbols: Pupils use symbols and colours to illustrate a story from their own life. Resources: Great PowerPoint packed with dozens of clear, visual information that leads the children through the topic. Print of a set of resources and information sheets for the children – including a small booklet packed with examples of signs and symbols.

Assembly Story - Otzi the Iceman!

Assembly Story - Otzi the Iceman!

(0)
In 1991, two walkers out exploring in the Alps stumbled across a 5,000 year old mummified body. The oldest naturally mummified body ever found, ‘Otzi the Iceman’ told scientists much – but not who murdered him! Examine the evidence and see if you can you solve this ancient murder mystery. A captivating and fascinating assembly story. Use the resources for a creative writing follow up, or set as a homework task. This assembly story never fails to ignite the imagination! A series of PowerPoint slides guide you through the story - examining different sources of evidence and encouraging the children to infer and deduce each clue. Challenge them to justify their ideas by backing up with evidence they have been presented with. Works beautifully as a one-off assembly story, but additional resources mean it can be turned into a writing task - either creative writing or report writing. I have used it as the basis of whole school homework tasks - it’s an amazing story that will captivate the children and fire their imaginations.
