Science

Science stimulates and excites children’s curiosity about the world around them.  As a practical subject, the development of concepts is based on first-hand exploration.  Science is a fundamental part of everyday life and the study of science is a necessity to enable children to observe, question, predict; continually developing  their understanding of the world around them.  Children have natural curiosity about the environment and we aim to help them to seek explanations, developing a caring and sensitive attitude towards living things and the natural world.  We structure scientific learning from hypothesis, planning and investigating, to making comparisons and drawing conclusions.  As the children move through the year groups a progressive approach to recording learning moves from pictorial to writing, graphs, charts and tables.
