Autumn 2024
In EYFS, design and technology has links with the Early Years Framework in Understanding the World, Physical Development and Expressive Arts and Design. Children are encouraged to incorporate their exploration of the natural world to stimulate enquiry as to how the world around them works. In PD they begin to use small tools to create, and in EAAD they combine these skills to choose what to make and how to make it.
