Design Technology

4th October 2022M Hanratty

Design and technology at Marsden Primary aims to inspire pupils to be innovative and creative thinkers who have an appreciation for the product design cycle through ideation, creation, and evaluation.
We want pupils to develop the confidence to take risks, through drafting design concepts, modelling, and testing and to be reflective learners who evaluate their work and the work of others.
Through our scheme of work, we aim to build an awareness of the impact of design and technology on our lives and encourage pupils to become resourceful, enterprising citizens who will have the skills to contribute to future design advancements.
We offer opportunity for children to apply the knowledge and skills learned in other subjects, particularly Maths, Science and Art. Skills are taught progressively and enable pupils to meet the end of key stage attainment targets in the National Curriculum

Nursery’s Under the Sea Band

24th May 2024M Hanratty

This week, Nursery have loved sharing the story of “Starry-Eyed Stan”. At the end of the story, Stan sets up his own singing school so we couldn’t resist making some musical instruments.

The children used the junk modelling resources to either make a drum, guitar or shaker. We investigated the different sounds they made and how they made a sound by tapping, shaking or strumming.
