All About Me — The Getting to Know You Art Pack for KS2

New class. New faces. New possibilities. Kick off the school year with three brilliant art activities that help your pupils express who they are — and help you learn what makes every single one of them tick. No awkward icebreakers. Just great art and big personalities filling your classroom walls from day one.

Download, print, teach. That’s it. Everything is planned, differentiated and ready to go.

The three activities:

1 — Name Doodle Portrait
Pupils write their name in bold bubble or block letters and fill every inch with patterns, symbols and doodles that represent things they love. Instant display. Instant conversation starter.

2 — My Colour Wheel of Feelings
Pupils map eight emotions to personal colour choices, mix paint and add expressive mark-making. A stunning PSHE crossover piece that opens up big conversations about identity and well being.

3 — Paper Plate Me
Mixed-media self-portraits on paper plates — drawing, collage, wool for hair, magazine scraps and personality details galore. No two plates will look the same.
Everything included:

• Full teacher lesson plan for all 3 activities with step-by-step instructions and timings
• SEN differentiation for every activity (fine motor, anxiety, focus and greater depth)
• 5 extension tasks per activity for early finishers
• Pupil self-assessment sheet with star ratings, reflection prompts and a feelings check-in
• Teacher assessment record for up to 30 pupils with RAG criteria per activity
• Display tip: mount all three pieces per pupil as a triptych for a jaw-dropping first-week gallery
