Y6 D&T

Autumn 1 – This term in DT year 6 will be focusing on food and nutrition looking at making street foods from different cultures. The food pupils are making are burritos, pitta bread and samosas. Year 6 will be thinking about their own diet and snack they eat daily and how they may improve their nutritional value to lead healthy lifestyles. Pupils will be given the opportunity to learn how to cook different cultured foods and how to perform different cutting skills.

Autumn 2 – Pupils will be learning about mechanisms in this term. Pupils will be investigating how pulleys and gears work and will design and make their very own gear product (Car). Year 6 will be able to select and use a variety of modelling materials to be able to create their final outcome. Pupils will research the materials they will need to create their product and will design what each side of the product will look like labelling each picture, explaining why they are using certain material.
