Teachers confidence with Kapow this term is much greater than last term. They are getting us to the overviews and are taking greater ownership of the subject they are teaching.

We have had really positive pupil voice about D&T. They are talking a lot about the processes and talk at great length about their enjoyment and new subject knowledge

The Overview has really supported this, ensuring the 3Ps are obvious when teaching.

Really enjoyed Year 1 smoothies unit. Ch engaged in the lessons, adventurous with food tasting and all then badgering parents to buy them ingredients to make them at home.

Year 2 pouches - children really enjoyed this and produced some great work. Sewing was tricky but they all mastered it by the end of the term.

Teachers have already been excited about their upcoming topics. They are starting to get to grips with using the overviews alongside the Kapow units. Year 5 and Year 2's units of sewing went really positively and the children were amazing at completing product analysis on existing product to see what they wished to include in their own. The 'before this lesson' on the year 3 unit this term was especially useful when I was talking through the unit with our year 3 teach first student and the videos helped her and her children become really successful.

I led a staff meeting on modelling and in particular modelling product analysis which appears to have been quite successful.

Teacher have fed back that the units have really pushed their own skills and knowledge but the training videos included in Kapow have enabled to deliver quality lessons.

As a school we have continued to add to our resources so that we can be prepared for the next units.

The children have been enthusiastic and excited about D and T.

In year 5 they tackled something they were very unsure of and succeeded (fastenings) They were especially worried about the threading of needles. This lesson had an Ofsted inspector in and he liked the lesson especially with the use of a visualiser to look at problems and solutions.

Year 4 torches were very successful and year 6 made some great working models.

Teachers have been asked to extend their subject knowledge and this has been great for their PD.

Teachers spoke highly about their units and are starting to ensure they use the overviews alongside the planning effectively.

I led a staff meeting on modelling and in particular modelling product analysis as the teacher modelling of how to use equipment etc are very strong.

Children speak positively about D&T and staff are growing in confidence when using Kapow

Staff becoming more familiar with the Kapow system. Year 4 enjoyed making torches. Year 5 loved learning to sew with children going home to sew their own creations. Use of the visualiser was a great help when modelling sewing skills to the class.

Children are really enjoying the Kapow units. Year 2's pouches unit was quite successful - children felt they had achieved a lot even though sewing was tricky. Clear small steps to make learning more accessible for the children.

Year 5's sewing unit was also a success. Teachers now feeling much more confident in adapting lessons to suit their children's needs.

# data[].attributes.body
The children have been working hard on their explanation of concepts and explaining how they have created a product and sharing this with other children in different year groups.

They have enjoyed learning about making products for other people and the impact that these products can have on others.

Successful monitoring in school. Children were able to feedback prior knowledge and how each unit links.

Raising the profile of D&T...

I had the opportunity to model a D&T 'I do, we do, you do' to all teachers during a staff meeting on optimising communication.

I led a school assembly on D&T with a focus on perseverance. The children enjoyed learning about inventors and their journeys to success.
