Design Technology helps us to develop as reflective learners, as we work through the design process. Through design technology, we are able to work collaboratively to solve problems and find solutions, teaching us to deal with uncertainty whilst developing communication, organisational and other practical life skills.
In design technology, we learn to appreciate the needs of others, the built environment and the likely impact of future technologies.
At West Boldon Primary School, we teach Design and Technology through the Dimensions curriculum through cross curricular thematic units as well as through discrete focused tasks (Design, Make, Evaluate Assignments). Our Design and Technology curriculum uses a combination of subject knowledge, skill building and design and make projects.
The Design and Technology lessons are inclusive to support the needs of our SEN children. Food technology is also taught through thematic units, and has strong links to STEM principles. Learning takes place both inside and outside the classroom.
