Design Technology

D.T

At Elson Infant School, we encourage children to design, make and evaluate exciting products including hand puppets, vehicles and moving Christmas cards.

They explore existing products and use this knowledge to design and create their own products. The children explore mechanisms including wheels, axles, sliders and levers. They will also practise lots of different joining skills to make structures strong and stable.

The children also learn about healthy eating and preparing food hygienically.

Subject Highlights

During the school year, we take part in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art & maths) challenges.

These challenges allow children to work in teams to design, make, test, evaluate and improve products.
