Our Art pattern template year 5 core is centred around Zara the Zebra, who loves spotting patterns in nature.

By using these templates, students will experiment with line, shape, and colour to create their own repeating motifs, building confidence in their artistic ability while developing fine motor skills.
Teachers can use this Art pattern template year 5 core as a standalone lesson, a starter activity, or as part of a wider project on cultural art and geometry. The template provides a clear structure, ensuring that all learners working at the expected standard can engage with the material successfully. It is an ideal tool for busy classrooms, saving valuable planning time while ensuring high-quality, creative outcomes for every child.

By focusing on clarity and engagement, this resource ensures that pupils feel supported as they master complex artistic concepts. Download this free template today to bring Zara the Zebra’s love of pattern into your Year 5 classroom and watch your students’ creativity flourish.
