Year 6 have been thinking about the 3P’s in their Design and Technology unit of work.

Design and make a Product for a Person with a Purpose

As technologists Y6 were challenged to design chocolate truffles that were to be a gift.

 

DT is not just about ‘making’. There are lots of steps that come before and after that !

Investigate – Learning about existing products

Focused Practical Task – Practising vital skills

Design – Designing a range of possible products

Make – Making the product

Evaluate – Looking back on what you did and considering what went well, what didn’t go so well and thinking about what you would have done differently

Our Learning Journey took us through each of these stages.

For two weeks the children were challenged to be chocolatiers.
