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.

This is a success criteria taken from the English National Curriculum for Year 6 writing.
It is designed in child-friendly language to allow children to self-assess their writing as they plan and write.
The file is a Word document with 3 tables per page. Print on table per child and stick them in their books before they begin writing.
Columns are provided for child/peer self marking and for teachers to leave feedback.
I have created a series of lessons has been designed to increase your pupils’ word processing skills. The can be used during registration time or as stand alone lessons. One major barrier to learning I encountered when asking children to use Microsoft Word was their lack of experience using Word’s basic functions. I have broken the key elements I believe primary school children should understand down into 6 separate child-led lessons.
I recommend that you first model the activities to the class and then let the children explore.
This is Level 1 : Colour and font
Level 2: Bullet points
Level 3: Text boxes
Level 4: Images
Level 5: Spelling and grammar check
Level 6: Symbols
I have designed a whole speadsheet covering the KPIs or Assessment Criteria for Maths from EYFS to Year 6.
I have included code to make assessment and monitoring is easy.
When the strand is taught double click the KPI/ Assessment cell once to turn the cell red if the child had struggled, Double Click twice to turn in amber if they have some understanding and double click three times to show the child is secure.

The web is broken into 6 sections of learning:
Individualised Support
Indentification of needs
Quality First Teaching
Extra Curricular Provision
Interventions
Communication
The provision we the provide is colour coded. This is great for parents and visitors to our website to get a clear overview of provision.
This has been created on PowerPoint and is therefore editable.
