Greenfield Primary School
Design and Technology
Intent:
At Greenfield Primary School we are committed to providing a varied learning projects across school. The children learn how to design and make things using materials such as clay, textiles, wood, food and construction kits. Being able to talk about their ideas, select appropriate tools and materials, assemble and join components appropriately and safely and evaluate their finished items are all important elements of the technology curriculum.
Tasks are designed to make the children really think about the process of producing a product - designing, making, evaluating and applying their technological knowledge - in a fun and exciting way.
Implementation:
At Greenfield Primary school for Design and Technology we use PlanBee.
Within KS1, LKS2 and UKS2 we use a two-year rolling cycle. In each year children will do three school for Design and Technology schemes of work comprising of 5 to 7 series of lessons.
In using PlanBee we are ensuring:
- Coverage of National Curriculum objectives
- Creating lessons that are engaging, informative and challenging
- Making sure that lessons are accessible to all learners
Provide complete curriculum coverage from Year 1 to Year 6 for Design and Technology.
Focusing on:
Cooking and Nutrition

Inventions and Achievements
Embed a consistent approach to teaching and learning across Design and Technology lessons.
knowledge and skills progression documents to highlight progress made in Design and Technology across school.
Impact:
Children will have clear enjoyment and confidence in Design and Technology that they will then apply to other areas of the curriculum. Through carefully planned and implemented learning activities the pupils develop the creative, technical and practical expertise needed to perform everyday tasks confidently and to participate successfully in an increasingly technological world.
