Art, Design & Cooking

Art, Design Technology and cooking connects with many other subject areas through our Cornerstones Curriculum. It compliments subjects such as science, humanities and Computing. Work often connects with on-going topics in these areas which allows pupils to understand the importance of designing and making in everyday life. It allows them to become more aware of how technology is all around us and how technology advances. Pupils are encouraged to investigate, plan, adapt and evaluate their work while working on their own, in pairs and small groups. This develops their co-operation and understanding when working together. Pupils gain an understanding of materials, cooking ingredients whilst thinking about what they are creating. They learn how to safely use a variety of tools under supervision to create quality items.
