Science

We believe science is the key to developing children’s curiosity and want our children to work as scientists to develop their understanding of the world around them. This starts in our Early Years classroom where our children learn about science first hand; through carefully planned play based activities both inside and utilising our garden space outside. We seek to keep children naturally inquisitive and excited about the world around them. Our science curriculum in key stages 1 and 2 builds upon these principles and aims to promote the skills needed for scientific enquiry. Through practical lessons children are encouraged to think about their own understanding of the world, to ask questions and to explore ways in which these questions can be answered through investigations. Children are taught how to make predictions, plan investigations, keep tests fair, use equipment safely, measure and record their results, draw conclusions and present their results.
