Design & Technology

Our DT topics.

Intent:

To instil a curiosity of how things are constructed and made.
To develop an interest into different areas of DT and the process involved in making a final product.
To encourage children to be independent thinkers when choosing how to carry out their own DT work.
To encourage children to be critical thinkers in order to evaluate both existing products and their own final DT work.
To develop skills needed when choosing appropriate tools for the task using tools to produce a final product.
To relate our learning in DT to real life and look for opportunities where learnt skills can be used.
