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.

There are 3 elements to the teaching and learning process for DT in each year group and are as follows:
- Research
- Planning and Design
- Materials to create and make.
