Design Technology

At Britannia we follow the KAPOW units of work to support the teaching of Design Technology. We teach all our design and technology lessons in block units to allow the children to become fully immersed in their learning and the units they are studying. Please see below for our policy and progression documents.

In DT lessons, the children get the opportunity to explore, plan create and evaluate a range of products. The children really enjoy DT lessons at Britannia and have the opportunity to make a range of things from bolognaise to castles! It is important that we look at existing products before creating our own and it is during this stage we learn about existing designers and their work.

See below for some pictures of our Year 2 children and their fabulous moving monster mechanisms!

Year 1 have also been very busy creating windmills. We had to make sure they had a strong base and a solid structure. We also had to take them outside to test if they worked in the wind.
