“DT helps me to feel create and solve problems”, which showcases how our Design and Technology provision develops the whole child and their understanding and interactions with real-life skills and problems, but also how it progresses the individual technological skill-set.

STEM inspire afternoon.
Each year children take part in a STEM project (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) to encourage them to think about what they would like to see more of in their local community. Parents are invited in to school to make models of the children’s projects including houses, schools, parks, playgrounds and fun fairs.
Idris the chef.
In Year 4, the children have an exciting opportunity to cook with a chef. This offers our children an insight into a career as a chef. Each child is given a cooking uniform to wear and learn lifelong skills such as chopping methods, weighing ingredients and keeping a healthy lifestyle. The children prepare a variety of delicious food throughout their lessons with the chef.
Chef on the farm.
This was an exciting opportunity for Year 3 and Year 5children to visit Bueadseaurt farm and experience where their food comes from. They explored the farm, met the animals and found lots of different crops that were growing. All of the children had the opportunity to cook with a chef where they made a vegetable burger and a fruit salad desert. This offered the children inspiration for a career in cooking or farming.
