D&T at Home
There are many different things you can try at
home, and you don't need a lot of 'stuff' to do it!
The best place to start is to look at
something in your house and ask yourself the questions to start off
your 'designerly' thinking. When you have done this, you can start
to think about the ways you can improve it.
Here are some places to start:
- A favourite toy
- A pencil case or wash bag
- A cereal box or other food packet
- A football strip
When you have decided what you want to design, take a good look
at it and then ask the 'designerly' thinking
questions.
When you have done this think about what improvements you want to
make.
Using the plan
template draw up a sketch of your new design,
think about the materials you want to use and the colours you want
it to be.
You might then like to make a small model of
your design, using fabric or cardboard.
When you have finished bring your design into
school and it might even get a place on our website!
