Science
The aim of our Science teaching is to provide first hand learning experiences and to develop scientific knowledge of the physical world. We achieve this by
-
learning about the world around them.
-
looking at materials, feeling them, talking about them and asking questions.
-
collecting things and sorting them.
-
trying things out.
-
talking about what they have noticed.
-
making things work.
-
trying to suggest explanations about why things have happened.
-
taking things apart and thinking about how they work.
-
testing out their own ideas or ideas suggested by the teacher.
We aim to increase pupils’ knowledge by following a structured scheme of work and develop the skills, concepts and attitudes mentioned above by well-planned, practical experiences that allow opportunities to discuss and reflect on what they have learned.
