Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe shapes and patterns seen in different snowflakes, a shared reading text to follow a set of instructions about how to print a snowflake shape and templates to print a design of a snowflake using 3D shapes to use for some Christmas wrapping paper.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore different ways of printing repeating patterns of snowflake shapes and designs.

This lesson is part of an art and design scheme of work to get the children to investigate and model how to use different materials and art techniques to design and make decorations to celebrate Christmas. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
