Pupils will learn about different types of timbers, sustainable forests and how they are managed. and mitre joints. Students must apply their knowledge and respond to the deign brief: Design and create a picture frame inspired by a design movement, using FSC soft wood and manufactured boards and plastics.
Students will be assessed on their picture frame design, specification and manufacturing diary, accuracy of their mitre joint and frame presentation.
FSC
Forest Stewardship Council
mitre joint
A 45-degree angled joint used to make picture frames
manufactured boards
man-made boards such as MDF, chipboard and plywood
Design Movements
A design style followed by a collection of designers and artists for a period of time, such as: Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Pop Art, Bauhaus

This project develops student’s creative and modelling skills. Students are required to design and model their own modern style building. Students will design the outside and inside of the building, the floor plan and landscape.
Students will be assessed on how effectively they develop their one and two point perspective in their exercise books. Student will go on to develop design ideas in their exercise books along with a final Architectural model, which will combine to generate a final grade.
Geometrical solids
Geometrical solids have 3-dimensions - length, width and depth.
Wire-frame drawings
Geometrical shapes and solids can be used to make wire-frame drawings. Simple shapes are built up to show a more complex object. This is also known as crating.
Surface developments
A surface development or net is a shape cut from sheet material to make a 3D form. Developments can be used for any 3D shape.
Enhancement techniques
Enhancement techniques make a drawing look more like the real object. The technique used will depend on the type of drawing.
Texture
Textures can be drawn to show different materials such as the grain on pieces of wood or reflected light on glass or plastics. Textures can be represented in shades of grey or colour. They give an impression of the material rather than representing it exa
Complimentary colours
Complementary colours are opposite on the colour wheel, for example, blue and orange. Complimentary colours contrast strongly with each other and make elements stand out.
Harmonious colours
Harmonious colours are next to each other on the colour wheel, for example, green, yellow and orange. They make a unified colour scheme.
Sequence diagrams
Sequence diagrams show the process of making something in words and pictures. They are useful if you need to tell someone else how to do a job or how to use something.
Perspective drawing
Perspective drawings make objects appear more realistic, as they appear to recede as they get further away. If the receding lines are extended they will meet at points that are called vanishing points.
Section drawings
Section or cross section drawings show a product as if it has been sliced in half. The imaginary cut is called a section plane which is sometimes represented by a line consisting of long and short dashes.
Develop the individual:
Cultural:
Understanding how products evolve according to users’ and designers’ needs. Especially with regard to how public buildings are designed to meet the needs of all of it users.
Create a supportive community:
Pupils will discover the nutritional valve in the foods we eat, functions of eggs in cooking, the food choices we make to ensure a balanced diet. The skills they will learn are cooking eggs using different techniques like coagulation, aeration, emulsifying, enriching and binding.
Pupils will be assessed on their theory knowledge in class as well as their practical ability during cooking lessons.
Coagulation
When heated, the protein in eggs starts to thicken
Aeration
The process by which air is circulated through a liquid, such as an egg, to recreate a rise.
Develop the individual:
Students learn about Sustainability as well as Fairtrade and the impact food miles have on the environment.
Create a supportive community:
Supporting local businesses and farms for fresh produce.
