In building upon your child’s natural curiosity, our focus is to promote an inquiring mind capable of approaching problems or investigations in a scientific way.
We aim to develop a child’s scientific skills which include asking questions, predicting, observing and recording. To support these skills, we foster attitudes of open-mindedness, perseverance, resilience and co-operation to enable scientific exploration to occur.
Lessons are planned following the National Curriculum.
Children in EYFS learn through allowing activities to be led by a child’s natural interest as well as structured play using materials such as water, clay or sand as well as building with blocks or bricks and using food to explore. Similar practical experiences underpin learning throughout KS1. KS2 children continue to develop their knowledge, skills and understanding in Science through investigations and experiments as set out in the scheme of work.
