Design and Technology

In EYFS, children are given the opportunity to explore many of the basic skills and concepts that underpin Design and Technology through model making and play, both indoors and outside. They will enjoy trying and cooking new foods, and learn how to use basic kitchen equipment safely.

As they progress into Key Stage 1, children continue to develop their design and technology skills. They will begin to design and create their own models, such as large scale dinosaur junk models, exploring and evaluating the features of a good design. They will also develop their creativity in the kitchen, making bread and tasting and developing a range of healthy foods.

Pupils in Key Stage 2 will become more aware of kitchen facilities and will experience cooking and baking through their topics, from Roman soup to healthy snacks. Along with skills in the kitchen, children will have the chance to use a variety of materials to create and build, such as their very own class rocket!
