Tell me and i forget-show me and i may remember-let me do it, and i learn. Learning through making works.

(Prue Leith's School for food and wine)

As soon as children come to Our Lady's they are encouraged to design and make. In reception they use a variety of different constructions kits and recycled materials. As they progress into Key Stage One and Two, they look at everyday products and evaluate their designs and uses. The evaluation then aids and enables the children in designing and making activities.

Design and Technology has been timetabled carefully, to fit in with other subjects on the curriculum and at Our Lady's we follow the QCA scheme of work.
