Science
Science is a part of our daily life. Everything we do and deal with in life is science, from cooking, playing football to growing a garden. Science at our school is taught as a discrete subject, meets the requirements of the National Curriculum and is sequenced so that new knowledge and skills build on prior learning. Children explore Science in Early Years as part of Knowledge and Understanding of the World. Through Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, children study science throughout the year.
Science lessons are focused on biology, physics and chemistry. Science teaches children to make observations, collect information and to use logical thinking to draw a conclusion.
Pupils are taught to use practical scientific methods, processes and skills to develop their knowledge of science. Areas of study include animals, humans, plants, seasonal changes, living things, electricity, materials, rocks, states of matter, light, sound, earth, space, evolution and inheritance.
We utilise the Ark scheme of work to support our intent and implementation. It supports effective teaching and learning through the provision of high-quality resources, including medium-term planning and subject knowledge enhancement.
