At Springdale, we encourage children to use their creativity and imagination to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. The children will be given opportunities to reflect upon and evaluate past and present design technology, its effectiveness, and the impact it has on our world today. Thus, allowing our children to become innovators and risk-takers.

We refer to the knowledge as being “Sticky knowledge” as the children are expected to remember and recall key facts in all areas of the curriculum as they continue their learning journey through school. **Our knowledge organisers will include:** - Essential knowledge about a concept, usually laid out in easily digestible chunks. - What the children will have learnt in the previous year linked to this concept (prior learning). - Key vocabulary or technical terms. - An enquiry question to support the learning of Sticky knowledge. - Cultural capital opportunities for every unit. (Identifying how this learning fits into wider opportunities).
