Design and Technology offers opportunities for children to develop their designing and making skills whilst developing and applying their knowledge and understanding of:
| planning and developing ideas |
| working with tools safely and appropriately |
| materials and the way in which they are used |
| materials and the way in which they are joined, mixed and combined |
| mechanisms and control systems |
| electrical circuits |
A scheme of work is followed to ensure that the children have experience of investigating a range of familiar products, evaluating activities, focused practical tasks and design and make assignments. The children will undertake various assignments such as making:
| moving pictures |
| vehicles |
| sandwich snacks |
| alarms |
| moving toys |
| controllable vehicles |
Samples of children’s work is assessed, assigned a National Curriculum level, and kept in each child’s portfolio.
The PTA has purchased many resources to assist with the delivery of the scheme of work.
