Design and Technology

Children enjoy constructing, making and creating from an early age. At school they will enhance their skills through a variety of practical and creative activities in designing and making products. They will learn about mechanisms, structures, electrical systems, textiles and food, evaluating the use and effectiveness of their finished designs.
