Design and Technology

Our Design and Technology curriculum gives children the opportunity to design, make and evaluate a product each term, generally linked to the class topic.

To inspire children’s designs children will have the opportunity to use real life products, research the work of inventors and be given a wide range of materials and tools to explore and use.

Children will learn the fundamental skills in woodwork, textiles, structure, cookery, electricity and movement (levers and pulleys).

Children use their designs to make a make a product using the skills that they have been taught and evaluate its use at the end.

Lessons are fun and engaging, developing children’s DT skills and knowledge. Teachers provide high quality modelling and scaffolding.
