KS1 Design and Technology
Through a variety of creative and practical activities, pupils should be taught the knowledge, understanding and skills
needed to engage in an iterative process of designing and making. They should work in a range of relevant contexts [for

how to cook is a crucial life skill that enables pupils to feed themselves and others affordably and well, now and in later life.
