Design & Technology
At Woore Primary and Nursery School we ensure that a progressive D&T curriculum is in place for all of the children. This enables them to learn about the world of design, explore materials, methods and making techniques and embark on their own designs and products. Evaluation and exploration is key to successful learning.
Throughout our units of work we aim for children to develop knowledge of:
- User - who the products are for
- Purpose - what tasks the products will perform
- Functionality - how the products will work
- Design Decisions - the opportunities children have to make
choice - Innovation - the scope children have to be original with their
thinking - Authenticity - how believable/real the products will be to the
children
The children have the opportunity to experience structures, textiles, mechanisms and cooking and nutrition on a two year rolling programme.
