Design and Technology

‘D&T brings learning to life. It is a motivating context for discovering literacy, mathematics, science, art, PSHE and ICT. Primary Design and Technology also provides a firm basis for later learning in the subject and a platform for developing skills in literacy and numeracy.’ -Design Technology Association

At The Meadow, our D&T curriculum gives children the opportunity to develop skills, knowledge and understanding of designing and making functional products. We feel it is vital to nurture creativity and innovation through design, and by exploring the designed and made world in which we all live and work. For the majority of the DT projects we take time over the course of a week to build up skills; giving time to plan, explore, build skills and design and evaluate.
