Here at St. James’ we just love being creative and using our imaginations during Design Technology lessons. Pupils design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts. We cover a wide variety of engaging topics such as: bridge building, shelters, jewellery making, pottery, water wheels and puppets. In addition, pupils have lots of opportunities throughout the year to cook and bake.
