This powerpoint outlines all the learning aims and objectives from the BTEC Level 2 Children’s Play, Learning and Development specification and includes activities, exam questions, model answers and much more!

Following the new life after levels I have developed this Curriculum Map/Assessment Criteria for use with Food and Nutrition lessons from KS3-4 as this now stands alone from Design Technology. The map provides a seamless transition from KS3-4 and can be used as a 5 year curriculum map. The core principles are based on the most up to date government documentation and are focused on Knowledge Application, Manufacturing Skills, Planning and Evaluation but with a secondary focus on the AQA Food, Preparation and Nutrition specification. It works on the new GCSE 1-9 grading system but as it’s an editable word document that you can adapt this to suit your school. As an additional resource, I have also included two pupil friendly assessment criteria sheets that can be used to self/peer assess work in KS3 which has saved me lots of time marking! I hope it saves you lots of time. Please rate and review :)

This curriculum map covers the four strands of the NEW KS3-4 Assessment criteria based on the most up to date government documentation. Design, Make, Evaluate & Technical Knowledge are the core principles of the KS3 Strategy and this map is developed using the new GCSE 9-1 grading system from the AQA Design Technology Specification. It outlines all of the skills and knowledge students should be able to demonstrate in KS3 but also incorporates at level of what they should be able to demonstrate at KS4 to allow a seamless transition between KS3-4 and therefore can be used as a 5 year curriculum map. This is now an editable version of the document so you can adapt it to suit your school’s grading system.

A card sorting activity covering the keywords and definitions for the Food Provenance topic from the AQA Food Preparation and Nutrition qualification. Useful as a starter or short activity.

Another Dimension is the title of this unit of work that focuses on KS3 Graphics with a practical and kinaesthetic approach. There are three booklets in this premium resource for one reasonable price for higher, middle and lower ability students. The focus of the booklet(s) is to develop basic technical drawing and modelling skills including isometric projection, 1 point and 2 point perspective and presentation techniques such as thick and thin lines, rendering, shading and tone. I have tried to add an element of fun whilst trying to incorporate the fundamental skills that are required at GCSE by asking the students to design and model a toothbrush for an alien; encouraging creativity and innovation. Students use play-doh to model their designs, photograph and then draw in isometric and annotate to explain their design using ACCESSFM. My students really enjoyed the practical aspect of this unit and as they are so busy drawing I found it really easy to go around and provide verbal feedback, stamp their work and allow them time to respond which massively reduced the amount of marking I had to do at the end of the project. We ran it as a 12 hour project on a 6 week rotation system but it could easily be adapted to suit a variety of delivery approaches. Please leave a review :)

These cards go with the Level 3 Children's Play, Learning & Development presentation (slide 7). There are a number of statements for tasks/actions a baby or child should be able to do in the Infancy life stage. Students should sort the statements into age order and then categorise them into the different areas of development; physical, intellectual, emotional or social. You could extend the task or differentiate by getting students to state specific ages etc.

A worksheet produced to keep a track of GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition Skills from the AQA specification Student/teacher can keep a log of what skills have been demonstrated in practical lessons and record the date and dish made. I found this really useful when marking controlled assessment and also gave the students something to complete after their practical lesson or at the beginning of the next lesson as part of reflection time.

You could also use this unit of work as an introduction to drawing skills for a Graphics unit in KS3. Hope you find it useful please leave a review :)

Literacy in Design Technology is high on everyone's agenda! I have developed these Higher Order Thinking Skills cards after we had a literacy training session by Graham Tyrer, literacy guru and Ofsted inspector. They can be used in a variety of ways to encourage discussion and higher order thinking, challenge and differentiation in the D&T classroom. Ideas for delivery: * call out a number and ask the student to read the question- use more complex questions to focus on higher ability pupils * use differentiated questions for all abilities * use to develop stretch and challenge in group discussion or independent work
