Design and Technology
Design and Technology develops young children’s skills and knowledge in design, structures, mechanisms, electrical control and a range of materials, including food. Design and Technology encourages children's creativity and encourages them to think about important issues.
In DT our intention is:
- that children will enjoy Design and Technology;
- that children see a need for the skills learnt here in everyday life;
- To develop children's skills, knowledge and understanding of Design and Technology;
- To develop independent working with logical thought over a sustained period of time;
- That pupils learn to work as a team as well as independently;
- To encourage perseverance and a practical and iterative approach;
- To know the correct language and terminology to record Design and Technology work appropriately;
- To develop an awareness and understanding of Health and Safety issues;
- That all children have an equal opportunity to learn in Design and Technology.
