Aims
The national curriculum for design and technology aims to ensure that all pupils:
Key stage 2
Through a variety of creative and practical activities, pupils should be taught the
knowledge, understanding and skills needed to engage in an iterative process of designing
and making. They should work in a range of relevant contexts [for example, the home,
school, leisure, culture, enterprise, industry and the wider environment].
When designing and making, pupils should be taught to:
Design
Make
Evaluate
Technical knowledge
The Y4 staff would like to thank the parents for supporting the making of the Art Bots today as part of the DT curriculum. We had fantastic parental support and we could not have made 120 Art Bots in 90 minutes without your help, so thank you. Parent comments were very positive:
“ I had a great time with the children and the teacher, it was a great lesson.”
“ Excellent session, very interactive, caters for children of all abilities. The teacher led the session very well and more sessions like this would be beneficial, I thoroughly enjoyed it.”
“It was wonderful.”
“I really enjoyed helping my child to build her Art Bot.”
Y6 made Anderson shelters as their DT project this term, linking to their history topic. Well done Y6 – you showed lots of skill and creativity in design.
