Design and Technology
At Milton C of E Primary, we followed the Kapow scheme of work for Design and Technology.
The Kapow DT curriculum aims to inspire pupils to be innovative and creative thinkers who have an appreciation of the product design cycle through intention, creation and evaluation. Through the scheme of work, children also build an awareness of the impact of design and technology in our present lives as well as in the future.
The DT curriculum outlines the three stages of the design process: design, create and evaluate. Each stage of the process is underpinned by technical knowledge which encompasses the contextual, historical and technical understanding required.
Within the DT curriclum, children develop thier knowledge, understanding and skills in six key areas:
- Mechanisms
- Structures
- Textiles
- Cooking and nutrition
- Electrical systems and
- The digital world
The spiral nature of this curriculum ensures that prior knowledge is regularly revisited and built upon with increasing complexity.
