How Scary Should a Calendar Be?

One of the units from the Nuffield Primary Solutions in Design and Technology materials in which students design and make a calendar illustrated with monsters, one for each month of the year.

Each monster is designed and produced by a team of children using suitable computer software. The calendar must be made to meet the preferences of the users who might be the class themselves or some other group in the school.

Suitable monster parts can be created using drawing software which is simple enough for Key Stage One and available to download free from the
drawing gamemaker website

The materials can be downloaded either in full colour or in grey-scale so that the most appropriate version can be selected for print.

HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment. Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date. Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work. Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
