      Paintbrush

      MAIN

      • Link this activity to a current theme or topic; this example is going to use autumn.

      • Before the lesson take the children out on a nature walk (follow appropriate setting guidelines and risk assessments); give each child a bag and tell them they are looking for materials to use in art to make a picture. Encourage the children to collect leaves, bark and sticks.

      • When back in class, each child should put on an apron. Give each child the template of a tree.

      • Place all the items that were collected on to the table, and group them (all leaves together, all bark together, etc.).

      • Provide the children with PVA glue and a paintbrush and encourage them to choose items and stick them down to make a tree.

      PLENARY

      Once everyone has finished, ask the children to help by placing their art to dry and wiping the tables.

      CONSOLIDATION ACTIVITIES

      Place the leftover natural materials in a builder’s tray and add some small world people so that the children can explore the textures and items in a free choice activity.

8. Keep to the Line

      Learning Objective

      Emerging

      Pupils are aware of starting or stopping a process.

      Additional Skills

      Visual: making marks on the page.

      Fine motor: using tools to make marks.

      Social interaction: working alongside others.

      Auditory: listening to ‘start’ and ‘stop’.

      Resources

      Yogurt pots

      Different coloured paints

      Lollipop sticks

      Access to a freezer

      Large white paper

      Marker pens

      Tape

      Aprons

      MAIN

      • The night before the lesson, prepare mixtures of watered-down paint in a variety of colours. Place these in yogurt pots with a lolly stick and put in the freezer overnight.

      • Place a large sheet of paper on the floor and with a marker pen; make a variety of lines (squiggles, straight, zigzags) along the length of the paper. Place aprons around the paper ready for the children to use. Take the yogurt pots from the freezer and loosen the sticks so that they are easy to pull out.

      • Invite the children to come and join you. Help the children roll their sleeves and put on their aprons.

      • Hand each child a paint stick and model to them starting at one end and making a paint line along the paper.

      • Encourage the children to swap the colours of paint they are using. Use the language ‘start’ and ‘stop’ when the children are working across the lines.

      PLENARY

      If all the lines have been completed, hand a marker pen to a child and ask them to make a line that they can then go over the top. Once the paper is full, count down ‘5, 4, 3, 2, 1, finished’. Help the children to tidy and wash their hands.

      CONSOLIDATION ACTIVITIES

      In fine motor activities, place lines on paper and encourage the children to rip or cut along the lines to practise the start and stop within the process.
