DT

At Marfleet Primary Academy, we intend to build a DT curriculum that is inspiring, real and practical. Our curriculum is carefully planned to match up with topics they are learning each half term to make the learning as relevant as we can. Each unit has four sections, which build to create their final piece. They will begin by investigating a designer, have a chance to practise their skills, work on their final piece, and finally evaluate what they have created. Children have the opportunity to develop their own design criteria to be creative in their thinking and are given chances to practise their skills and develop resilience when things don’t work out. Children are encouraged to reflect on their mistakes and try again. There are also strong cross curricular links with art, maths, science and computing. The aim is to prepare the children with the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences for their careers in their future life.
