DT

Children receive weekly Design and Technology lessons over the course of 2 six week half terms from Jenny, the DT specialist teacher. Over the course of a year children will take part in design, make and evaluate units that cover many aspects of DT including textiles; food and nutrition; structures; electronics and resistant materials, aiming to make a useful and usable product at the end of the unit. Children do this by take part in the design process, researching and looking at familiar products or finding users opinions; children then get creative developing their ideas through drawings and often get the opportunity to build models and prototypes of their ideas, then they plan how they will make their end product, selecting different materials and techniques; children then spend time making their final product working hard to make a high-quality finished outcome. Throughout the unit there are opportunities for children to evaluate as they go along enabling them to adapt and improve their work. Where possible DT projects are linked with other curriculum areas and topics, so children are often making outcomes which match their learning with class teachers in other areas of the curriculum.
