Design a destination shoe project
Students are to pick somewhere in the world and design a shoe based on it.
They must research the different landmarks, colours and images first.
This powerpoint guides students through the whole project including learning objectives, tasks, examples and some ‘just for fun’ quizzes.
This will be fine to set as a home learning task / project.
PowerPoint and task cards aimed at a KS3 class (initially planned for Year 9) to complete a poster, written assignment and a model for a specific area of Science to present in a Science Fair.
For each of the task cards a detailed list of requirements for each part of the project is included, with ideas for extension work to earn more points and homework ideas as well.
I used this resource straight after my students had completed their end of year test as a fun and engaging activity, when complete pupils presented their projects to the class and I awarded certificates for best written assignment, best poster, best model and best overall project.

This booklet includes everything you need to immerse your pupils in a project that will encourage teamwork, creativity and perseverance. This is a perfect project for Year 6 after the SATS, to prepare for the transition to highschool and have some fun.
Pupils work together to design a theme park, adhering to the costing limits, as well as creating designs and advertising campaigns that have links to maths, english, science, computing and DT. There are also opportunities to extend this project into different areas, depending on your pupils needs. This project can take as long or as little time as you want.
Each team has a booklet and will come up with a name for their theme park. Groups will then assign each other a job role in their company so that some children can take a lead in designing, accounting, managing, and research. In this booklet, groups calculate the cost of their theme park for one day, the income made from admissions, and the total profit of the theme park. They will then do an advertising campaign, this could include a newspaper article, a poster, a radio advert or anything the children can come up with. There is also an opportunity to design a rollercoaster, and then build a prototype of this rollercoaster, using their knowledge from DT.
At the end of the project, a company is chosen to build the theme park. This is based on a presentation of their ideas and the points gained throughout the project for teamwork, communication and perseverance.
Included is an editable version of the booklet so you can adapt it to meet your class’ needs, as well as teaching slides that accompany the team booklet.
This is a full terms worth of lessons.

This is a new resource for KS3 that can be adapted, expanded or used as it. It is a 6 page resource that can take 2-3 lessons or even as a homework task.
It includes questions about the governance, laws, location, flag, national holidays etc. It is a great way to engage students to think about how they perceive geography and politics.
I put together a Year 6 travel project for children (who weren’t attending the school residential) to complete over one week mostly independently with the use of an ipad or chromebook.

Day 3 focus - Tourist Attractions
Day 4 focus - Country Facts
Day 5 focus - Pack your suitcase
This creative project teaches students about Pointillism, Seurat and colour mixing. It is flexible in length and could be completed as quickly as 1hr 20 mins. If students draw their own Eiffel Tower, or if you include some of the suggestions on the end of the lesson plan, it would be 2 to 3 hrs.
It starts with Students looking at a PowerPoint on Pointillism focusing on Seurat. (9 slides) It includes a script and looks at:
A definition for Pointillism
Seurat & Signac
How the Impressionists influenced them.
Two of Seurats paintings in detail.
Pablo Jurado Ruiz, a contemporary artists who used pointillism today.
How to mix colours using Pointillism.
There is then a worksheet where students can practice mixing colors with dots. This is an attractive worksheet which would look great in a sketchbook or as a display.
Students are then asked to recreate Seurat’s Eiffel Tower. More able pupils will draw the Eiffel Tower. Less able, or younger students, will place their dots over the faint image of the Eiffel Tower.
An extension task is suggested as well as other ideas to extend the project e.g. finding France on a world map and Paris on a France map.
I am always looking to improve my resources, so if you have any suggestions please leave them in the comments box.
This project is a fun project for children to learn all about Victorian architecture. The powerpoint takes you through the revolution of Victorian housing and some of the architecture from the era. There is also a seperate resource sheet for the children to use.
