The Lion S-Scales provide a framework for learning that bridges the gap between the Government’s new Engagement Model and the KS1 and KS2 curriculum for Computing.
Detailed lesson content and assessment sheets for every half-term unit, presented in line with the Lion Pathway. Each unit starts with clear guidance for broadening and deepening the National Curriculum requirements.

To display the learning achieved throughout this unit, the children should have a showcase of their paintings.
For the Gallery show you will need portraits printed and backed and for the ‘Guess Who’ game you will need card size portraits printed.
You could have the portraits turned into Christmas cards, mugs or baubles to be sold at the Christmas Bazaar.
The teacher should have the portraits printed and backed.
Children from a different year group or parents should be invited to attend the gallery opening showing children’s portraits.
You could take all the pictures and turn them into a game of ‘Guess Who?’ for the children to play with.
This end-of-unit assessment sheet is designed for the children to complete themselves. You can download hard copies from the Lion Learning Pathways website.
