Design and Technology
Design and Technology Intent
It is our intent at Beverley St Nicholas Primary to provide children with opportunities to design, make and evaluate products using a range of materials, including textiles, woodwork and electrical circuits.
The skills acquired within design and technology lessons draw upon those learned in other areas of the curriculum, such as maths and science, enabling them to build upon previous experience in the classroom.
Children also learn life skills through food technology, learning how to bake and cook using the safest techniques.
