I published these a few years ago on the TES and they proved popular - but when the TES changed the format I took everything down. One is on the colour associated with the season - one on the wreath and one on the word advent http://www.cybercomputing.co.uk/TeachingResources/assembiles/advent.html gives you a link to the flash swf files. http://www.cybercomputing.co.uk/TeachingResources/assembiles/assemblies.html to the full list of assemblies I have done if you like the style.

At this time of the year many students go through past papers to practise their examination skills. Over the years I have collected together questions that I have set for my students together with explanations of how to tackle the question. They are mainly for AQA as that was the syllabus I taught – but some are from different boards – selected to illustrate how to deal with a question type or topic that was not on the paper. There are two banks of questions: Multiple Choice: http://www.cyberphysics.co.uk/Q&A/KS5/indexKS5Q&A_MC.html Structured Questions: http://www.cyberphysics.co.uk/Q&A/KS5/indexKS5Q&A.html They can be used by a teacher in a variety of ways: Test/homework bank of questions Whiteboard demonstration – going through questions set for homework or in a test. Individual student work at revision stage for whole examination or end of a topic.

Fuzzy felts have been popular for a long time with small children. This resource proved to be very popular when I uploaded them, but the new format makes previewing them impossible on TES. These Flash graphics that are based on the original felt shapes can be displayed on a whiteboard to use in a classroom activity or used on a tablet or PC by individual children. They can be used to improve a child's dexterity, to stimulate imagination and creativity, enhance storytelling skills, promote discussion, etc. The information sheet gives an overview of the online resource. It is possible to download the swf files from the web or you can use them online. (There is always a warning that 'such files can damage your computer' so you might not be happy having a copy of the swf file on your computer itself).
