INTENT - BECOMING DESIGNERS
Design and Technology encourages children to learn to think and intervene creatively to solve problems both as individuals and as members of a team. They are taught to look for opportunities and to respond to them by developing a range of ideas and making a range of products. The children are also given opportunities to reflect upon and evaluate past and present design technology, its uses and its effectiveness and are encouraged to become innovators.
IMPLEMENTATION
At Fernvale, we have 5 core strands that run through our Design and Technology curriculum. Each strand has a progression in knowledge and skills, detailed in this document, that link the topic areas together.
Design and Technology is taught in termly blocks alongside Art and Design, this enable children to focus on either Art and Design or Design Technology within a term. The DT units of work are intrinsically linked to 5 key threshold concepts, skills and prior knowledge are built upon and revisited throughout the school.
