Design Technology
Our vision
Linked closely to art, the DT curriculum is focused on giving students at Park Hill Junior School the practical skills to plan a product, use skills to create a product and then to evaluate the product. Moving through the years, students will have the opportunity to develop the skills that will help them in the future, including both practical skills and the ability to look at their own work critically, so that they can make improvements.
Having the DT curriculum reflecting the topic area means that the understanding of why they are creating a flint arrow or an aqueduct is far more meaningful to the students. This also helps to build memories which will help with long-term recall.
