Design & Technology
VISION
At Primrose Lane we believe that a relevant, interesting D & T curriculum helps our children to become independent, creative problem solvers.
Following the National Curriculum strategy of Design – make- evaluate, we present our children with real and relevant problems and then encourage them to creatively design and make a solution. Children are then encouraged to evaluate their solutions to assess the effectiveness of their designs.
Where possible we try to link our D & T topics to other areas of our curriculum such as Science, Maths, History and Geography to further deepen the children’s learning and understanding.
