Design and technology
Curriculum
We follow the National Curriculum in all year groups.
Rationale
At Windwhistle Primary School we deliver an engaging design and technology (DT) curriculum where children learn in an environment where they are encouraged to be independent and creative problem solvers. Links are made to the real world so that children are confident applying their technical and practical expertise from the classroom to everyday tasks.
Planned units will typically involve children completing a focused project from one of the following areas of DT: mechanical systems, electrical systems, textiles, food, structures and mechanisms.
