Wheatfields Primary School

Design & Technology

Design and Technology is a subject enjoyed by all children at Wheatfields. It encourages creativity, problem solving and resilience. Pupils at Wheatfields take part in a wide range of Design and Technology projects throughout their time at school. These include: food and nutrition, woodwork, electrical circuits, structures, wheels and axles, levers and pulleys, computer-aided design and textiles.

The teaching staff strive to make their projects fun, exciting and challenging. Sometimes they are linked with the topic that the children are learning, or they are standalone projects with a brief and real-life application. Pupils learn to draw on, and apply the knowledge and skills learned in other subjects: particularly Mathematics, Science, Computing and Art.
