Makes it a fun and educational lesson with no real planning for teacher to do so can focus time instead on quality resource buying
How well does it match the curriculum?
Brilliantly: There is more content (eg support / extension activities) than we expected
Great ideas for teaching NC DT
How well does it support your school’s inclusion/diversity/equal opportunities policy?
Well: The content is inclusive and sensitively presented
Seems to offer extended, but if it offers adapted work for SEN then I have missed that
How well does it support differentiation for the full range of the classes you use it with?
Well: A large majority of resources are suitably differentiated for pupils
See previous
How well does it engage and motivate pupils?
Brilliantly: Pupils love using and are excited when they know they are going to do so
They love it, e.g the pop up books in Y1 & all the food tech, such in Y2, the tortillas & in Y1 the smoothies
How well does it support planning?
Brilliantly: It has everything you could need and is straightforward to use with classes
Ideas all there & pdfs for slides
