DT

Autumn 1 Feedback

What went well last year?

• Getting to use building blocks to make a structure
• Getting to make things that move
• Getting to make moving vehicles and getting to use them
• Getting to make sandwiches that we could eat
• Getting to bake our own bread
• Getting to design and built our own bridges

How could DT be better?

• If we got to do DT more often
• Having more opportunities to cross stitch in textiles projects
• Less writing and more time making
• Being able to draw more as a way to plan

DT is fun when . . .

• We get to work on projects
• We can work collaboratively
• We can use computing to support our projects
• We get to work with different materials
• We can show our projects and share our learning
• We get to draw as a way to plan and design
• We get to eat

Autumn 2 Feedback

All children knew what DT was and KS2 could tell me what DT stands for. Children were eager to share that they enjoyed DT and liked the lessons they can recall.  Children had the most knowledge linked to their food and nutrition and structures units but found it difficult to name the area of DT.

WWW:

• We like getting to prepare for things by finding out about the existing products (especially tasting examples)
• We love that when we make something, we get to actually use it.
• We love getting to cook something and getting to eat our own creations.
• We love getting to explore different skills, such as different fonts that we can use on a project.
• We like getting to make our own designs and getting to follow our designs through to create our product.
• We like getting to draw our designs, rather than write them

EBI:

• We would like to have more time to explore in DT.

The children were enthusiastic about everything they do in DT and the only thing that they could articulate to make it better is that they wished they could do more.
