Design and Technology


The Design & Technology curriculum aims to develop the creative, technical and practical expertise that children will need to perform everyday tasks and participate successfully in an increasingly technological world. Building on prior knowledge and skills, Design & Technology lessons will be split into the following topics: structures, mechanisms, electrical systems, computing, textiles and food. In each area, children will benefit from a range of learning experiences, such as growing and cooking their own food, and creating their own moving pictures. They will use a variety of tools to design, make, and evaluate their finished products.
