This activity sheets asks pupils to design a week of healthy school dinners, these could be based on a particular theme or general meals.

This is an incredibly comprehensive PowerPoint Presentation including everything you need to teach your upper KS3 pupils how to design and make an eco-friendly stuffed toy. This was inspired by a group of very talented previous pupils. The brief: "I have been asked by the Environment Agency to design and make a stuffed toy in my choice of style, suitable for customers of my chosen charity, but using at least 25% recycled materials. To do this I must first write an ACCESS FM design specification, analyse similar products and research my theme." The project is assessed following a Dragon's Den style pitch at the end of the project. It was created for a full 20 week project but could be reduced for shorter rotations. It also includes images of handouts to be printed for the pupils. It includes: Health & Safety The Design Process Specification/ACCESS FM Product Analysis Moodboards Fabrics & Fastenings Excellent V's Poor Design Scheme of Work/Manufacture Plans Sustainability 6R's Supply Chain Transparency (Fashion Revolution) Sewing Machine Parts Activity CAD/CAM Applique Hand Sewing Stencil Print Block Print Tie-Dye Batik Seams Final Design Making Instructions Evaluation (7 slides) Dragon's Den Pitch Assessment (Home work and lines/detention slides) You can also buy the supporting instructional video of how to assemble the toys separately or as part of a bundle in my shop! NOTE: This is the fully editable PowerPoint presentation and you can edit my name out of it or add remove pictures and slides etc.

This was created as I was getting a lot of irrelevant questions during my lessons which were taking up valuable teaching time. I overcame this by using these. Pupils are given 2 question tokens at the start of each lesson and the backs feature possible ways to get an answer without asking the teacher: Can I answer this myself? Is it urgent? Can someone else help? These are not designed to stop pupils asking questions but rather to think for themselves. The majority of the time pupils know the answer but don't think about it properly. and develop their own cognitive abilities. All you need to do is print these back to back, they have been tested several times to ensure they line up correctly providing you know which direction your printer prints! Laminate to make them last forever! Give it a try! You may save hours!

A complete PowerPoint presentation to support your teaching of effective evaluation writing. Contains: Exploring the task Generating ideas Developing and modelling ideas Making Learning Keywords, tools & techniques, Design adjectives

This is a great activity for pupils to show their understanding of the 6R's specifically within design subjects. This could also be used for other school wide subjects and PSE and even as a plenary.
