GIANT does not cover it! I wanted to make an Eat Well Plate/Guide for my colleague - it must be just over 1.2m tall when printed onto A3. I photoshopped the images and the information and based it on the original government guide. Although, I am biased, this is a lot more visually appealing and great to refer to during lessons. Files are Adobe Illustrator and PDF to print. Please leave a review!

A booklet for supporting some basic drawing skills in Art Design Technology. Suitable for KS3 and KS4.

A sheet I created when I was a technician many years ago! Just updated to look a little more ‘snazzy’ and to include some Art words as my department is Art Design Technology merged.

This letter is designed to give parents nad guardians advice around the GCSE Design and Technology NEA for AQA. It could be re-worded to work with any examination board as well as any qualification. If you download, please leave a review. Thank you! :)

An Excel teacher planner with the 2024-2025 Term Dates on and a column per class. You may need to tweak these to fit your school and colour scheme. I use this document alongside my written planner to keep me on top of things. There is also space to add on calendar events, assessment dates and after school activities. Please leave a review :)

Some generic resources for Exercise Books or Booklets. I have used all of these at various points in my career so far and all have proved useful. Included is :- Book Labels GCSE DT course information (AQA) Practical Checklist sheet (for classes where you need to monitor their behaviour more) TAP sheet for recording assessments Written and Practical work TAP sheet

A template for teaching staff to effectively RAG audit and evidence curriculums in preperation for OFSTED and Deep Dives.

A short guide complied with all the bare details of the course and common questions students have about the course. All the information is from experience teaching the subject and also includes 4 Quizlets for students to revise keywords from. Would be a useful resource for Year 10 or Year 11 or even on Parent’s evenings.

A worksheet or poster for Maths in Design Technology - good cross curricular link.

A pack of display sheets/work aids/revision cards (whatever you choose to use them for) for AQA DT GCSE. This resource is also including the 12 new diverse designers added to the list in the specification June 2022.

A help sheet with space for samples of sandpaper to be stuck on. This help sheet was made with a low ability un-resilient group in mind but could be adapted to suit any. There is a side showing/explaining sandpaper. On the other side are the common excuses or reasons I get for not completing work to standard or ‘complaining’ after 5 minutes graft… There are also the tips I give to students to maximise the results when they are sanding by hand.

Bookmarks for student reading books or planners - a nice form activity regardless of age range. One side has inspiration quotes on them, the other is blank for a name. All are set to print double sided for ease with the fonts embedded into the file. If you go onto slide master after downloading, you will be able to change the background image.

A super simple student guide for the AQA Design Technology GCSE although it could be adapted to meet other specifications. UPDATED 2024 Simplified to include an A4 booklet version as well. A page layout guide, tips for each page and guidance on how to write different sections. This was a labour of love and has been the best guide that I have given my students.

Time consuming venture reflected in the price. Workshop tools display showing hand tools and workshop machinery. This was made for my classroom wall where there was nothing visual for the students to look at. The signs are made with this room in mind but is adaptable for any workshop. The focus of each is to show the tool, a working method and then what the tool is used for. Some tools are similar but show a different technique. Examples are included above. PowerPoint file included for easier personalisation. Fonts are embedded in the files - I called my display ‘Don’t call it a Thingy!’ as students were regularly forgetting the right word.

Some themed mini cupcakes I drew on Illustrator to use in my form for birthdays. This and matching candles for the names. Each one is themed around an event that usually takes place in that month. For example, December is a Christmas tree and September is Back to School. **There are also some blank ones for people who want just one colour cake or rainbow. ** Resource is paid based on the amount of time it took for me to draw them individually.

A quick sheet made for a mid-low ability Year 8 group. I made this so they can get it out each lesson to help them but also so it wasn’t me continually speaking all lesson. PDF included for speed of printing. PowerPoint included in case any edits need to be made for your students

A letter more tailored for poor behaving/performing students in KS4/5. I have also used this many times and have rarely had no support from parents. Appropriate letter what ever subject, but reads as if it is from a coursework based subject.

A letter with highlighted sections to edit to suit you. I have used this particular format many times and parents are usually supportive. I would normally try to phone the parent first but that is my personal preference.

Teacher Standard Bookmark for A4 sized planners. Useful for any NQTs or ECTs as a quick reference when planning. PowerPoint included incase you wish to personalise the font or colour scheme to match classroom/planner/stationery. UPDATED with newer backgrounds.
