Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe the shapes that can be used to complete repeating patterns and templates to produce cards by printing repeating patterns of shapes on the theme of Valentine’s Day (enlarge to A3).

The interactive presentation can be used to explore different ways of printing the shape of heart on a card to give to someone special for Valentine’s Day.

This lesson is part of an art and design scheme of work to get the children to investigate and model how to shape, colour and combine a range of different materials to produce shapes representing themes related to Valentine’s Day. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
