Design & Technology
We have adopted the Kapow Scheme of Work for DT. We have chosen these schemes because of the progression in skills and thorough coverage. We found the lessons to be well planned and well resourced. We particularly liked the video clips to show teachers and children the stages in the process and the end point. We have sequenced the units so they support learning in other subjects e.g. Electrical systems: Torches is taught in Year 4 when the children are learning about electricity. We have planned the units when the children make toys for the second half of the Autumn Term when the children could give the toy as a gift.
