At Halsall St. Cuthbert's Primary School, design and technology is about ensuring our pupils acquire a broard range of subject knowledge and draw on disciplines such as mathmatics, science, engineering, computing and art. Pupils are encouraged to take risks through drafting design concepts, modelling and testing and evaluating their own work and that of others. Through our DT curriculum, pupils are inspired by engineers, designers, chefs and architects to enable them to create a range of structures, mechanisms, textiles, electrical systems and food products with a real life purpose.

In our DT club, we have been looking at crumble. We are learning how to connect switches and LED's to a board and we are learning how to programme the device so that it turns on a light.
