Included in this bundle are hours of fun, interactive, and productive activities that have been tried and tested with hundreds of happy children. Not only are the activities engaging, they also enable young people to develop their key skills in areas as varied as: Literacy, Numeracy, Science, Art and Design, PSHE, and Speaking and Listening. Included within the bundle are the following popular resources: - Murder Mystery Investigation: Students use exhibits, maps, evidence, and budgeting skills in order to solve a murder mystery case; - Fantasy Football Club Group Project: Students design and resource their own football team from scratch, using a limited budget and selection of classic and modern footballers; - Stating Your Case for the World’s Greatest Sportsperson - Students use their researching, persuasive writing, and speaking and listening skills to argue the case for the best sportsperson of all time; - Space Mission: Find Us A New Earth! - Students are given an imaginative scenario and real-life information about the current most hospitable exo-planets, and must use their scientific and literacy skills to build a case for the next planet humans should inhabit; - Crazy Animal Limericks Anthology - Loads of fun animal limericks for students to read, and comprehension/ creative tasks for them to complete. All that you have to do is print and go, everything that you need for these resources (including teacher guidance) is provided. All images are licensed for commercial use, and are cited on the final slides of the presentations.

These clear, detailed and visually-appealing resources offer a complete reference point for children, teachers and parents building knowledge of the ‘Textiles’ elements of Design and Technology. The organisers are clear, logical and fully meet the expectations of the National Curriculum. There are KS1, lower KS2, and upper KS2 organisers, which each include sections on: -Overview; -Example Textiles; -Designing; -Making and Evaluating; -Health and Safety Guidance. The resources are designed to be printed onto A3 (although can be printed onto A4), and are provided in both PDF and Word versions (so that you can edit if you want to). All images used are licensed for commercial use and are cited on a separate document (included).

This engaging and purposeful series of lessons enables children to gradually develop towards constructing vehicles using wheels and axles. The resources were originally created to guide children towards building safari buggies, but the resources can easily be adapted to fit your own particular project. The bundle contains five lessons and the knowledge organiser. The lessons included are: Lesson 1 - Researching Lesson 2 - Designing Lesson 3 - Making Lesson 4 - Constructing the Body Lesson 5 - Evaluating Comprehensive and colourful Powerpoint presentations, in addition to all of the worksheets/ templates needed. These lessons were originally created for children in years 2 and 3, but may be adapted for slightly older and younger year groups.

This engaging and purposeful series of lessons enables children to create working slider and lever mechanisms. The resources include 3 lessons and an evaluation sheet (leading children through the ‘research, design, make, evaluate’ process) and a corresponding knowledge organiser. I used a polar theme when teaching this unit, as it was our topic at the time, but the resources can easily be adapted to fit your own particular project. Each PowerPoint is eye-catching and comprehensive, and all worksheets templates are included as in both Word and PDF. These lessons were originally created for children in years 1-2, but may be adapted for slightly older and younger year groups.
