Another of the assemblies I've made (for one of the two teachers I help with assemblies). Our local vicar came to give us a talk on advent so it just has a couple of pictures in the centre. One advent related and a picture of the Christingle to help us prep. our Autistic students. This has the lyrics for Little Donkey (abridged version) and See him lying on a bed of straw complete with appropriate imagery.

A short repeating Powerpoint Display I made for a school assembly on a none uniform day where we were raising money for the Typhoon Haiyan appeal. It has some pictures showing the disaster (suitable for children aged 3 to 19) and a few pages to help them understand where the Philippines is and just how big the storm was.

An Assembly Template that I made for one of the teachers at the school I work at. It includes a visual timetable and a couple of songs (no music but I've left the slides with the lyrics in place). This assembly also still includes our central main piece that was on the topic of 'Ordinary People doing Extraordinary Things' - it includes a link to the YouTube video we showed during the assembly.

A sheet that requires students to correctly sequence four of the stages involved in making a product. (Design, Marking Out, Cutting (etc...) and Assembly) They also have to fill in additional details about each of these stages. In this case the product shown in production is a bird house though the stages are the same for any hands on DT that doesn't require specialist equipment.

A series of worksheets to take students through the initial stages of making a Frame for a Mirror. The sheets include: Research, ACCESS FM Analysis of an Existing Product, Specification, Initial Designs (includes an isometric grid) and another ACCESS FM analysis sheet to help pupils develop their ideas. These worksheets were used by a class at the Special School where I work. (Autistic Students).

A PowerPoint display I made of the Lyrics for Morning has Broken with related pictures. This and the Kumbaya PowerPoint were both made for use in my Class Teacher's Assembly using his login.

Three sheets to take pupils through Specificiation, Research and Initial Ideas (this page includes room for 2 designs and has an isometric grid).

A score sheet for an Egg Drop Team Building Activity. Each of the materials available for use has a purchase price and the teams score based on how much of their budget they have remaining as we as on design and whether the egg survives.

A poster to show students what is expected of them if they are performing at the Democracy level of the Raise Responsibility system. This is a system that encourages students to take ownership of their own behaviour.

This sheet shows 4 of the stages that I took our Scout Groups badge through whilst designing it. It clearly shows how different parts of a design can be modified and changed and built on as a design progresses.

Here are a lot of scans of the drawings on our tool poster set that we display in our Design and Technology room. I was scanning them all in to make in to resources but decided there might be some people who'd find the images themselves useful. All of these images were hand drawn a long while ago. I&'m happy for people to use them as they wish but if you make resources with them please be as so kind as to upload them here. Thank you.

5 worksheets covering the following items: hammer; g-cramp; tenon saw; coping saw and safety goggles. For each worksheet there are 6 differentiated variants: 1 - copy the name of the tool; 2 - find the name of the tool and write it; 3 - unscramble the name of the tool; 4 - fill in the missing words; 5 - complete the sentences (only the starts are given) and 6 - write about the tools (they are only given instructions of what to write about). Each sheet has an extension activity of colouring in the picture of the tool (or shading it at the higher levels).

A TEACCH activity where students have to match a photo of the type of tool to a simple description about what it is used for. This worksheet includes: Laser Cutter, Pillar Drill, Vinyl Cutter and Thermo Forming Centre.

A worksheet that is designed to help teach students how to annotate their research to help them gain higher grades in examinations later in their school lives. This resource was made for the autistic students from the Special School that I work at. It is also designed in a way to encourage the students to have to do some written work and to give them a degree of choice. This resource now contains 3 different differentiations of the 2nd sheet (the page the pupils need to write on).

A sheet that shows some Swahili words and the translation in English. The words could also be cut out and used as a matching activity. Covers 10 words / phrases.

A few sheets to make up a TEACCH Tools activity where special needs students (autism) have to match the tool to its name.

I'm uploading this as an example of how we have encouraged young people to participate in a range of activities. It may be possible for you to edit it to make it suitable for your setting. The young people each got a passport and then had a number of activities that they could choose to visit - each activity had a stamp that they could then have added to their passport after the completed the activity. It was a good way of giving the young people a choice but still having an incentive in place to encourage them to complete all the activities.

Here are a series of 4 differentiated worksheets to help students create a persuasive poster encouraging people to buy Bug Houses that they were producing as part of their Design and Technology lessons. This set of posters formed part of an observed lesson and was designed to show cross curricular links with English. (As we currently have a focus on writing within our school.) We started the lesson by showing the students a variety of adverts and talking about the features they use.

A PowerPoint containing the Lyrics to the song Kumbaya. There are verses for: Singing, Dancing, Crying, Praying and Waiting.

Here is a PowerPoint I have made for Durham City and District Scout's Christingle. I&'m uploading it here as you might like to borrow parts of it for an assembly (there are lyrics in place for Away in a Manger, The Christingle Song, Shine Jesus Shine, Once in Royal David&';s City and Show me the way to shine for Jesus. I have left the video from the Children's Society in place but have had to remove Bethlehem Rhapsody for space reasons (I&'ve included a YouTube link).
