Teacher's resources

This section provides printable notes and links to key resources. This information suggests how to incorporate collaging into primary schools and how to develop the activities into rich lessons.

​

The skills and steps involved in these activities are suited to KS2 children as younger children may find them hard to access. However, the activities can provide inspiration for other activities and given below are some suggestions and resources to use and adapt the activities.

Collected collage:

Great for KS2

​

Adaptation for younger children...
-> younger children would still benefit from hunting around the house or outside for materials to use, encourage inquiry and independent collection of resources

-> focus on using just natural materials found outside... can you create a collage based on walk or that tells a story of a journey?
