Curriculum Design and Technology Overview

In our Design Technology lessons we teach the children to design, make, amend and evaluate a variety of products. The DT curriculum works closely with our topic theme to inspire develop children’s knowledge and skills whilst encouraging them to produce high quality finished products. Additionally children are given the opportunity to explore where food originates from and prepare and cook simple meals in small groups. This is particularly useful to develop their understanding of the importance of a healthy lifestyle including a diet of a variety of food groups. Our aim is to develop a variety of skills to allow our pupils to achieve their personal best and develop the knowledge required to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle into adulthood.

At Overdale we use the National Curriculum, our topic themes and children’s interests to form the basis of our planning and teaching of DT.
