Year 2 D&T Unit of Work - Playground Equipment

• 6 week unit of work with all planning, work booklet and Powerpoints included.
• Age range: Year 1 or Year 2
• Fully editable
• Completed example booklet included

My school have recently changed how we plan and teach design and technology and one of these changes is how we record the children’s work. We now use booklets for each project and one of the benefits of booklets is that they can double up as lesson plans so we can ensure a consistency of content and delivery. It is also an easy, clear way of evidencing the progression of skills and knowledge throughout the projects.

The children absolutely loved this project and their final models were fantastic!

Edited July 2023 - This now includes a new lesson as part of the focused skills task. It supports the children’s understanding in joining processes and making their structures sturdier. There is also an extension activity where the children have to use their problem-solving skills to fix a structure that keeps falling over - perfect for your higher achievers that need a challenge! This lesson was observed during an Ofsted inspection and received great feedback.

I have also added PDF versions of the booklet and other files, as I understand that some people don’t have the same fonts that my school use. The files now include a cursive and non-cursive font version.
