D&T

D&T Subject Overview

 

This half-term in DT we have been learning to design and make biscuits for an occasion. We began our learning by finding out about the history of biscuits and also thought about their popularity today. We found out about UK businesses who make biscuits and discovered the process of creating a biscuit product from design through to the saleable food item. Having researched this, we designed and baked our own Easter biscuits!

Through the term, we found out how biscuits form part of a healthy diet. We used the ‘EatWell guide’ to learn about the amounts of different foods we need and we also learned about where our food comes from; whether it’s farm reared, caught or grown and where some key foods and ingredients come from in the UK and across the world.
