Design and technology topics are planned for each term and taught across a whole key stage. Where possible this will link with the key stage termly topic.
We aim to:
- Provide children with the opportunities and skills to flourish creatively.
- Encourage children to become a successful designer through designing, making and evaluating a range of products.
- Widen children vocabulary and use of technical language.
- Understand the importance of nutrition and how to cook.
- Encourage children to become resourceful and innovative.
How we will achieve our aims:
- Children will engage in a rage of designing and making.
- Develop ideas and techniques by creating products considering their purpose.
- DT will be included in cross- curricular lessons in all year groups (such a forest schools)
- A range of DT resources will be accessible for children to explore.
- High quality teaching.
We will know we’ve achieved our aims if:
- Children will be able to talk with confidence and pleasure about their DT products.
- Children are able to apply their DT knowledge to other areas of the curriculum.
- Children will take pride in their DT products and be able to link them to the wider world around them.
- Children enjoy DT lessons and discover new talents and interests.
