DT Progression: POS & End of Year Expectations (Key Stage 1) Design Making Evaluating Technical Knowledge Cooking & Nutrition Understanding contexts, and purpose Planning Own and products Making products work Where food comes from Across KS1 pupils should: • work confidently within a range of contexts, such as imaginary, story-based, home, school, gardens, playgrounds, local community, industry and the wider environment • state what products they are designing and making • say whether their products are for themselves or other users • describe what their products are for • say how their products will work • say how they will make their products suitable for their intended users • use simple design criteria to help develop their ideas Across KS1 pupils should: • plan by suggesting what to do next • select from a range of tools and equipment, explaining their choices • select from a of materials and components according to their characteristics Across KS1 pupils should: • talk about their design ideas and what they are making • make simple judgements about their products and ideas against design criteria • suggest how products could be improve Across KS1 pupils should know: • about the simple working characteristics of materials and components • about the movement of simple mechanisms such as levers, sliders, wheels and axles • how freestanding structures can be made stronger, stiffer and more stable • that a 3-D textiles product can be assembled from two identical fabric shapes • that food ingredients should be combined according to their sensory characteristics • the correct technical vocabulary for the projects they are undertaking Across KS1 pupils should know: • that all food comes from plants or animals • that food has to be farmed, grown elsewhere (e.g. home) or caught Design Making Evaluating Technical Knowledge Cooking & Nutrition
Generating, developing, modelling and communicating ideas Practical skills and techniques Existing products Food preparation, cooking and nutrition Across KS1 pupils should: • generate ideas by drawing on their own experiences • use knowledge of existing products to help come up with ideas • develop and communicate ideas by talking and drawing • model ideas by exploring materials, components and construction kits and by making templates and mock ups • use information and communication technology, where appropriate, to develop and communicate their ideas Across KS1 pupils should: • follow procedures for safety and hygiene • use a range of materials and components, including construction materials and kits, textiles, food ingredients and mechanical components • measure, mark out, cut and shape materials and components • assemble, join and combine materials and components • use finishing techniques, including those from art and design Across KS1 pupils should explore: • what products are • who products are for • what products are for • how products work • how products are used • where products might be used • what materials products are made from • what they like and dislike about products Across KS1 pupils should know: • how to name and sort foods into the five groups in The eat well plate • that everyone should eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day • how to prepare simple dishes safely and hygienically, without using a heat source • how to use techniques such as cutting, peeling and grating Design Making Evaluating Technical Knowledge Cooking & Nutrition I can statements I can statements I can statements I can statements I can statements • I have investigated some common products. • I can think of some things I will have to do to • I can look at and try out products and I can describe • I can build structures, exploring how they can be • I can mix and prepare simple cooked and uncooked
• I use my knowledge of products to think of some ideas for my designs. • I can use pictures and words to show what I want to do. make my product and some of the things I might need to make it. • I can talk to my teacher about these things. • I can use some basic tools safely. When I am making my product, I can tell someone about what I am making, how I am doing it and the tools I am using. • I can measure, mark and cut soft materials with help. • I can shape paper and card by cutting with scissors. • I can join materials with adhesives and tape. • I can saw wood with a saw. • I can glue wood. • I can use hand drill or hole punch. • I can make an object with simple moving parts. how they work. • I can talk about my own and other people’s work. •I can explore and evaluate a range of existing products • I can evaluate their ideas and products against design criteria made stronger, stiffer and more stable • I can explore and use mechanisms [for example, levers, sliders, wheels and axles], in their products. involving very limited choices. • I can use simple equipment, e.g. spoons, cutters, bowls.
