Design Technology
Intent of the DT curriculum at Lakeside
Design and technology is an inspiring and practical subject. Using creativity and imagination, pupils design and make products that solve problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. Our intent for design and technology is to ensure all children are given opportunities to;
- develop their creativity, imagination and critical thinking skills.
- develop the creative, technical and practical expertise needed to perform everyday tasks confidently and to participate successfully in an increasingly technological world.
- critique, evaluate and test their ideas and products and the work of others
- understand and apply the principles of nutrition and learn how to cook.
- draw on learning in other subjects such as maths, science, computing and art to build a broad subject knowledge for DT.
- learn how to become resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens.
