Design and Technology is enjoyed by all children in Pre Prep and a progression of designing, making and evaluation skills are explored for each project.
The children take part in design tasks using a variety of materials and techniques. Each topic is split into three sections, that include designing, making and evaluation.
Designing – children are encouraged to use their imagination to develop designs for each design brief. This work is usually carried out in their book before choosing one design to make.
Making – children will have a variety of materials that they can use allowing them to bring their designs to life. Some examples are cutting and sewing skills, 3D modelling and joining.
Evaluating – As a class we reflect and discuss our outcomes and celebrate our successes.
Design & Technology and Art & Design will be taught as two subjects which will be split during the academic year. We will start the year with Art & Design and follow on from Spring Term 2 with Design & Technology. Food and Nutrition will be taught in the Summer Term as part of the Design & Technology curriculum.
