Design Technology (KS1/2)
At St. Joseph's we use Kapow Primary, an award winning programme of study, for the teaching and learning of Design and Technology.
We ensure that the following skills and knowledge are taught:
- Cooking and nutrition
- Textiles
- Structures
- Mechanical systems
- Digital world
- Electrical systems
The Design and technology National Curriculum outlines the three main stages of the design process: design, make and evaluate. Each unit we teach follows these stages, to form a full project. Each stage of the design process is underpinned by technical knowledge which encompasses the contextual, historical and technical understanding, required for each strand.
