The reader will discover that the tapas, the typical finger food of Spain is called that because they were used to plug a glass of wine (tapar in Spanish), or that the first pizza was given the name of the Italian Queen Margherita.

Design and technology involves children learning through processes that include identifying needs and opportunities, generating and developing ideas, planning, making and evaluating. These strands are brought together through the use of: case studies analysing children's learning and the teacher's roles; and practical ideas and approaches to National Curriculum requirements based on the collective experience of committed and enthusiastic teachers.;The second edition fully reflects the latest revisions in the National Curriculum and links with other curricular changes in the intervening years. Specific links are made to the National Strategies for Literacy, Numeracy, and ICT; to the National Standards for Subject Leaders; to Science and the other foundation subjects; to the QCA Scheme of Work for D and to new initiatives in citizenship and creativity.

Originally published in 1993. The appearance of design and technology in the National Curriculum has offered primary teachers opportunities for imaginative and stimulating work which is directly related to the lives of their pupils. Its sheer scope can, however, be daunting for the teacher already overloaded with the other demands of the National Curriculum. Tina Jarvis provides some much needed guidance on strategies for including design and technology effectively within the whole curriculum, including the development of co-operative group-work and finding effective ways to assess individuals in group situations. The author also looks at how teachers can tackle subject areas which may be unfamiliar to them, such as systems, environments and economic enterprises.
