Design and Technology

Thinking skills and problem solving challenges make D and T an enjoyable, stimulating experience for most children. Designing, making, assessing, discussing and refining their work becomes a familiar process as they move through the school. Activities range from making puppets, designing pop-up mechanisms, and constructing a smoothly running cog mechanism to developing the most delicious (and healthy!) energy bar. Group co-operation develops and the opportunity to learn new skills and pass them on to others builds confidence – and it’s always useful to know how to use a saw safely!
