Tuesday, May 06, 2025
This term in design and technology our Year 5 and 6 students are studying CAD - computer aided design. They are experimenting with Birds Eye view and are designing rooms using pen and paper as well as technology. This subject explores the way we are able to use a variety of technologies to create design solutions in the home. T
his term our students at Year 5 and 6 primary level will get to experience a taste of what a career in design interior decorating, architecture, ICT or the building industry may be like. This has already been an exciting and motivating learning experience for our year five and six students and the topic has only just begun.
It has been wonderful to watch students’ eyes light up as they learn skills to manipulate furniture, walls and home features using their iPads and see their ideas come to life: The design and technology curriculum centres around the design process which includes creating design solutions using a variety of materials tools technology and hands-on materials. I predict some of our students will go on to creative design pursuits judging by the passion, talent and finesse they have shown in CAD this term.
