Curriculum - Technology
Design Technology is the creative application of knowledge, skills and understanding in designing and making good quality products using a range of materials including food, textiles, wood, card, and mouldable materials. We aim to develop within the child the ability to generate his/her own designs through:
- working with materials, learning skills and techniques and disassembling existing models
- the means of representing his/her ideas in a variety of ways, i.e. diagrams, plans, models, prototypes, simulations.
- an ability to evaluate, suggest and implement changes and justify those changes.
- the ability to select appropriate tools and equipment for a task and to use these sensibly and safely.
- the desire to make high quality products which are aesthetically pleasing whilst still having a regard for 'fitness for purpose' in their designs.
