Design Technology
At Ankermoor Primary Academy, we believe that design and technology should be taught in all year groups to prepare children to be independent, work in teams and become creative problem-solvers.
We teach design and technology during specific weeks, three times a year, linked to the national curriculum objectives for that year group.
Children at Ankermoor are encouraged to be creative whilst designing products with a purpose for the correct audience.
Here are the topics we have covered so far.
