As Design and Technology Subject Lead, I have created this glossary of progressive terminology/ extended vocabulary list to ensure that the children in my school have a broad range of vocabulary that could be used across the curriculum. Somme vocabulary is cross-curricular and will support teaching alongside the new OFSTED framework. I began with Year 1 and, based on National Curriculum progression documents, I compiled a list of vocabulary that the children should see, hear and be encouraged to use. I have added new vocabulary to deepen the children’s understanding and broaden their vocabulary in each year group. This can be seen in green. It have separated the vocabulary into the seven areas of DT: • Design • Structure • Mechanism • Electrical Control • Materials • Food Technology • Evaluation This list can be used by: Subject Leaders as part of progression documents and curriculum for the school. Teachers as a planning scaffold and an assessment tool to ensure children have a broad art curriculum. Teachers to deepen their subject knowledge. Teachers and subject leaders to promote high standards in vocabulary across the curriculum. To ensure Art is linked to English and reading where possible. Pupils may find this resource useful as a check list in their sketchbooks at the beginning of each topic. My school have used this grid this year and we have noticed a great improvement in the children’s understanding of art vocabulary in their speech and through their writing in English. Read less
