Design and Technologies | Year 1,Year 2
Generate and communicate design ideas through describing, drawing or modelling, including using digital tools
• comparing and contrasting features of existing products to develop new ideas, for example designing and making a puppet with a movable part after experimenting with other toys with several movable parts
• communicating design ideas by modelling or producing and labelling 2-dimensional drawings using a range of technologies, for example designing a new environment such as a cubbyhouse or animal shelter and showing different views (top view and side view) with descriptions of materials and features
• communicating an opinion about their design ideas, for example expressing own likes and dislikes about a design idea for felt finger puppets including how they have made changes to their design ideas
• describing the results from exploring design ideas, for example recording the results from people taste-testing a food product
• We are learning to use paper weaving as a way to design with care and practise our producing skills using sustainable materials.
• We are learning to identify tools and strategies that help us feel calm when we have big emotions.
