Science

Through the teaching of science we encourage an interest in and an understanding of our world. There are four main areas of learning in science comprising:

Scientific Enquiry

Life Processes and Living Things

Materials and their Properties

Physical Processes.

To help children think scientifically we build on their natural curiosity. They are encouraged to explore and investigate by developing their skills of observing, questioning, hypothesising, carrying out fair tests and recording and interpreting findings.

Knowledge Organisers

We’ve created amazing knowledge organisers for each Science topic which summarise the key knowledge that the children should know by the end of the topic. Have a look at our ‘How To’ knowledge organiser to find out how they work:
