Arty Tardy : Teaching Resource

This teaching resource aims to enable children to enrich their experience of the deeper themes from the main novel Arty Tardy.

The activities and workshops are easily adaptable for use in both KS1 and KS2 and employ a cross-curricular approach which combines Literacy, PHSE and A.R.T.S.

The Arty Tardy Pilot Scheme was first introduced in East London with participating schools in Newham, Barking and Dagenham and Redbridge. I hope that this teaching resource will inspire you also to have lively and meaningful interactions with your children and that the outcomes will be positive and enlightening.
