Design and Technology
Welcome to our curriculum page for Design and Technology (DT). On this page you will find a wide range of information as to how we teach Design and Technology at Templemoor, as well as valuable resources that you can use to help to support learning at home.
Design and Technology is taught on a rotation with Art and Design, every other half term. It is taught as a discrete subject but it is also integrated into other curriculum areas to create meaningful topic-based learning opportunities.
Through a variety of creative and practical activities, we teach the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to engage in an interactive process of designing and making. All teaching of Design and Technology follows the ‘Design, Make and Evaluate’ cycle. Each stage will be rooted in technical knowledge and real life, with relevant contexts to give meaning to the learning. The children will also consider function and purpose and relate them to context.
The key skills, key knowledge and key vocabulary for Design and Technology have been mapped across the school to ensure progression between year groups. For further information, please see the documents below.
