Design Technology also helps children understand the place of product design around them through historical and current developments. Its delivery ensures children also understand the need for change and development in technology over time and how it impacts on our everyday lives. We believe that a high-quality Design Technology should combine both theoretical approaches to design  with engaging, practical experiences. Children need to be immersed in interactive experiences to gage a deeper understanding of their learning as well as providing an opportunity to be motivated and inspired.

Our aim is to develop musical expression from an early age and encourage children to build self-esteem through musical and performance opportunities. We begin with early skills by developing a listening ear for musical rhymes, chants and beats and as children progress, they learn more about the inter-dimensions of musical processes. In their time at Birdlip, children are exposed to a wide range of musical styles and artists to develop their critical ear and voice. Children from Year 1 have a carousel of expert class music sessions throughout the year.
