Design Technology allows pupils to build and apply a repertoire of knowledge, understanding and skills to design and make high-quality prototypes and products for a wide range of users. Children will learn to problem-solve, make on-going changes and improvements during the design and make process. Through first hand experiences, pupils will learn to critique, evaluate and test their own ideas and products and the work of others. Design Technology teaches pupils to understand and apply the principles of nutrition and learn how to cook, teaching pupils about the seasonality of ingredients and how they are grown, caught or reared. Through Design Technology, pupils’ understanding of key developments in history is broadened when researching important individuals and their inventions. At Camp Hill Primary our ethos is to provide every individual child with rich, creative and inclusive experiences which prepare them for a lifetime of learning and challenges! Through our warm, caring and compassionate approach, we will support and nurture every unique and special member of the Camp Hill family.
