Design & Technology Intent Vision
At Crabtree Farm, through an engaging DT curriculum, we aim to inspire our children to become the next engineers, designers, chefs, and architects.
Design & Technology Curriculum at Crabtree Farm
At Crabtree Farm we support our teaching of the National Curriculum for Design and Technology, through the use of the Design and Technology Association's progression framework. The D & T Progression document details what the children learn in each year group and how they develop their skills and knowledge during their time in primary school. Have a look to see what your child is learning in D & T!
Our Learning in Design & Technology
In the autumn term, in KS1, the children designed, made and evaluated a moving gift for a family member for Christmas. The children started off by learning what a lever and slider mechanism looked like and how they are used. Then, they used this knowledge to design their own moving card, which included one of the two mechanisms.
In Year 3, the children designed, made and evaluated a purse or wallet for themselves to carry their money in. At the start of the project, the children researched different purses, fastenings and materials. Then, they looked at the tools needed to complete the project before completing small focus tasks to help the making of their final design.
The children in the Treehouse have been very busy. They created some delicious soup and homemade bread, which linked with the story of The Little Red Hen. Also, they have made dinosaur headdresses and created a volcano using Modroc!
