DT in Action!

Course date: 10th Jun 2025

Design and Technology is coming to Saundersfoot Primary School in Pembrokeshire on 10th June.
The morning session will be STEM activities
The afternoon will focus on the progression of textiles.

The AM session will be focused on STEM
This practical session is ideal for increasing the motivation and engagement of all learners.
Practical challenges teach learners to take risks and become more resourceful, independent and innovative.
Problem-solving tasks allow children to develop fine and gross motor skills through relevant and authentic challenges.
Experience and learn how all learners can develop resilience, perseverance, and collaboration through practical challenges that develop analytical and creative thinking.
Learning through failures is a key aspect for any D&T and STEM-based activities and this course will allow delegates to experience this first hand with tasks and ideas that can be implemented with the children back in class.
STEM challenges allow children to apply their Literacy and Numeracy skills in real-life, meaningful contexts.

The PM Textiles session will provide primary teachers with:
Opportunity to learn a range of sewing skills and look at the progression of skills across the primary phase.
An understanding what good practice in textiles could look like across the Primary Phase?
