It’s an incredible resource! Imaginative and really clear process for adults and children to create at home! I gave it a 5 star review 🤩🤩🤩
Hi, I'm Darrell, I create 3D art projects with, and for kids mainly using cardboard. My book 'Art Shaped' has twice been top of Amazon's 'craft book' chart, and has over 150 five-star recommendations from parents, teachers, and homeschoolers! 🙂 It's here ...

I think the painting of the branch this kingfisher is sitting on is one of the best examples of watercolour I’ve seen a child do. It’s beautiful - look at the range of colours #primaryart #watercolour #thelostwords

Year 6 painting focus. Icebergs. Linked to climate activism human impact. Children learned about climate artists David McEown. Children chose watercolour or acrylic. So proud of their confident brushwork! @sophieleach.bsky.social @darrellwakelam.bsky.social @penahay.bsky.social #PrimaryArt

I had a fabulous day today at West Moors Middle School, working with groups from Year 5, 6, 7 and 8. We took inspiration from the work of Keith Haring, creating our own 'human pyramid' as part of a teamwork display. 😎

Today, I’ve been working with the Year 5 classes at Birchwood Primary. They are reading ‘Clockwork’ by Philip Pullman, so using that as inspiration, we made Sir Ironsoul, the mechanical knight from the story. 🤩

We are loving maths week! We have been exploring patterns using “jelly beans” outside on the tuff trays and using our bodies to follow patterns on the floor. We also noticed numerals on the floor and have been moving in different ways to get across to the other side. @dalmainps.bsky.social

We really enjoyed reading our key text this week ‘How many Jelly Beans?’ this morning. We then had a go at estimating how many jelly beans there are in our class jar. There were so many guesses, from twenty to one trillion! @dalmainps.bsky.social @ncetm.bsky.social
