We block our Design & Technology lessons at St Katherine’s School & Nursery so that it is taught every other term, for an hour each week.  The curriculum is carefully sequenced so that children build on and develop their skills.  

Each sequence of lessons follows a similar pattern, providing children with the opportunity to look at products and explore how things are made, they then have the opportunity to plan and adapt designs before making a product or prototype and evaluating it.

Children are taught the correct vocabulary throughout their lessons. They will learn about and make different structures and explore levers and will explore sliders, levers, pulleys and gears.
