Wattle Gum Curriculum Year 3 Technology
This year your child will design and produce at least one product. Create a simple digital solution and work on data processing skills.
Encourage your child with their creative and innovative ideas. Use tools and materials to design and complete a finished product.
Their design may involve drawing, diagrams or modelling. Products may include gardens or a water system. Woolen products, or any number of products. Data processing may include map reading, photos, or music.
Support your child in being comfortable with digital technology; computers and phones. Discuss with them privacy and security issues.
Some families may choose at this age to not have digital technology as part of their child’s learning. This is not an issue. Computer skills are rapidly changing and children pick up computer skills quickly. Most important is to foster your child’s creative and innovative skills. Teach them how to break down problems to find solutions.
Provide your child with opportunities to identify needs and create solutions. Many technology skills are naturally covered in rich learning environments.
