Enterprising approach to a craft project which involves a local
craftsman who will provide learners with the design brief and
assess work produced. Learners will develop their knowledge
and understanding of both design and wood work and consider how
their local environment can be used as inspiration. Part of the
brief will be to consider recycled materials and locally sourced
material in their product.

• Subject knowledge is gained and enhanced through a meaningful and
challenging brief
• Employability skills enhanced through team work, planning,
organisation, time management, researching and
presenting
• Confidence of working independently from teacher-led lessons,
demonstrated through accepting challenge of design brief and
fulfilling the task
• Learners take responsibility for their learning through making

• Learners were able to evaluate each others work by creating a
safe environment where criticism is seen as a positive and not a
negative
• Learners have developed enterprising skills identified as 4
capacities of CfE
Relevance to curriculum
• Core skills which can be used across the curriculum are developed
