In essence Design and
Technology at Lacewood involves making things which have a use. This
involves children in a process of: |
 |
Examining the ways in which
other people have made things. |
|
Creating their own ideas
and designs. |
|
Learning techniques from
using tools to sewing and cooking. |
|
Evaluating their work and
learning from their successes and mistakes. |
|
Houses at year 2
|
| We use the Design and Technology scheme of
work from the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority supported by other
resources but we also adapt these to integrate this work into the rest
of the curriculum such as making puppets which can be used in role play
in Literacy to making musical instruments and learning more about the
science |

|
of sound and, of course,
music in the process.
The children work work a
variety of different materials and tools throughout their time in
Lacewood and can cover tasks from how to handle and prepare food to
making biscuits or designing patterns in fabric to making a pair of
slippers as well as model building using construction kits and other
materials such as wood and even paper straws. |
