Design and Technology at Scunthorpe Church Of England Primary
Design and Technology is important because it encourages pupils to think and creatively solve problems. DT requires all children to feel confident in their own design process. We focus on the Design and Technology process including: Research, Design, Make, Evaluate, enabling children to see a product being made from start to finish. Design and Technology objectives are linked to a practical context and apply skills to ‘real world’ problem solving.
The Aims of the Design Technology National Curriculum
- develop the creative, technical and practical expertise needed to perform everyday tasks confidently and to participate successfully in an increasingly technological world
- build and apply a repertoire of knowledge, understanding and skills in order to design and make high-quality prototypes and products for a wide range of users
- critique, evaluate and test their ideas and products and the work of others
- understand and apply the principles of nutrition and learn how to cook.
