Design and Technology
But the angels said to them,
“Do not be afraid, I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all people.”
Luke 2:10
The angels brought the Good News that God’s son had been born. Jesus teaches us that we should value and love one another. By our example, our children are nurtured and encouraged to be kind and compassionate, showing God’s love to those around them and enabling everyone to flourish.
Everyone is included in the St Edburg’s family, inspired to make a positive change and encouraged to interact with the community around us.
All are valued, all are loved.
The intention of teaching for mastery is to give all children access to equitable classrooms; classrooms where children can participate and be influential, and classrooms where children are encouraged and supported to develop learning that is both practical and creative.
At St Edburg’s CE Primary School, we believe that Design and Technology is essential to a rich and balanced education that develops the whole child. The study of Design and Technology gives children an insight into how the world is being shaped around them for the evolving needs of people and communities from past to present. In a rapidly changing age of technology, it is essential that children are equipped with the knowledge and technical skills to creatively solve real life problems, so that they have the ability to make their own impact or positive change on the world around them.
Our intention is for children to feel valued as part of our Design and Technology community. For children to feel comfortable to share their thinking and take part even when they feel unsure. To be encouraged to question one another; agree and disagree by justifying their decisions and work together collaboratively. We intend for the process of creative thinking and innovation to inspire children to bring out undiscovered talents, which in turn breeds a self-confidence and belief in their abilities.
