Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to describe and illustrate how to mould and arrange different layers of a papier mache material to complete the shape of a type of fish that lives in the sea
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and compare shapes, sizes and colours seen on different fish that live in the sea and a template to select and use mouldable materials to produce the shape of a fish that lives in the sea when working with papier mache.
The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to mould and arrange layers of papier mache to create the shape of a fish that lives in the sea.
This lesson is part of an art and design scheme of work to get the children to select, combine and shape different materials to design and produce layered sculptures representing fish that live in the sea.
