Please find relevant information regarding Design and Technology
At Nunnery Wood Primary School, we aim to deliver a high-quality design and technology curriculum, which will ensure that pupils are encouraged to be innovative and creative thinkers who have an appreciation for the product design cycle through ideation, creation, and evaluation. We want pupils to develop the confidence to take risks, through drafting design concepts, modelling, and testing and to be reflective learners who evaluate their work and the work of others. Through our scheme of work, we aim to build an awareness of the impact of design and technology on our lives and encourage pupils to become resourceful, enterprising citizens who will have the skills to contribute to future design advancements.
Throughout the design and technology units, pupils will learn to develop:
- an understanding of the functional and aesthetic properties of a range of materials and resources.
- an understanding of how to use and combine tools to carry out different processes for shaping, decorating, and manufacturing products.
- a repertoire of skills, knowledge and understanding to produce high quality, innovative outcomes, including models, prototypes, CAD, and products to fulfil the needs of users, clients, and scenarios.
- an understanding of and apply the principles of healthy eating, diets, and recipes, including key processes, food groups and cooking equipment.
- an appreciation for key individuals, inventions, and events in history and of today that impact our world.
- an understanding that our decisions can impact the wider world in terms of community, social and environmental issues.
- self-evaluation and reflect on learning at different stages and identify areas to improve.
