Inspiring young minds to create, innovate, and problem-solve for a brighter future!
To engage, inspire and challenge children, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to solve problems, innovate and invent products. They do this in a process that allows them to develop new practical skills and effectively use a range of technology to create high-quality outcomes.
Take a look at our new DT curriculum, we have recently chosen to follow the inspiring Design and Technology Primary Knowledge Curriculum (DT – PKC), which is designed to deepen children’s understanding of design and technology in our society while developing their knowledge, creativity and imagination to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of context. Check out the DT-PKC Curriculum to see how our children’s learning in Design and Technology progresses as they move from infants to Year 3 to Year 6 and then into Key Stage 3. All lessons have been carefully considered, planned to cater for the learning needs of all children and with careful links made wherever possible to previous year/next year learning in Design and Technology and in other subjects.
Check out the DT PKC Curriculum , which details the units each year group cover including the skills and concepts learnt. In every year children complete a sew, build and cook unit, which enables Carbeile children to experience, grow and develop in all areas of DT. The Year 1 and 2 units are also included, so teaching staff can see the progress that has been built on.
Our Medium term planning is being updated as we teach the PKC Curriculum, check out the lessons so far….
The answers to all of our ‘Big Questions’ form our Forever Facts. This is the knowledge that we think our children need to remember in future years, well beyond when they have left their year group and when they have left Carbeile Junior School. We have ‘Total Recall’ in all lessons, quizzing the children about past weeks, past topics and even past years learning.
Speaking and listening is incredibly important in Design and Technology. Our children work collaboratively in the design process and create products as a team.
There could be an element of Design and Technology within your child’s topic home learning tasks, which are set every half term. Please help encourage your child’s enthusiasm and enjoyment in Design and Technology by supporting them with this home learning.
Children will develop their skills, creative thinking and knowledge over the four years. Our Design and Technology curriculum will develop the practical skills of the children, preparing them for later life. Our use of innovative technology opens doors for our children to a high-tech future.
We deepen the children’s understanding of how design affects our world. We champion innovation and nurture the children’s creative solutions to the future’s design questions.
In Design and Technology, we assess children through a mix of self-reflection, project evaluation, group work, and individual assessment. Self-assessment helps them reflect on their progress, while project evaluations focus on creativity and problem-solving. Group work fosters teamwork and peer feedback, and individual assessments track skill development and understanding. This approach ensures each child grows in confidence and ability.
