Intent:

All children develop their natural curiosity in the world around them through asking questions and investigating.

Science is all about asking questions and discovering the answers through practical and exciting investigations. The children have the opportunity to look at how science and technology has changed over time and discuss those individuals who have made notable scientific discoveries. The children learn to take notice of the world around them and record observations of change over time. We make full use of our extensive school grounds and use all of the amazing resources on our doorstep to help the children experiment and draw conclusions from their findings.

5 Types of Scientific Enquiry

Quotes from the children: ‘Science is fun because experimenting helps us to understand how things work and what goes on in the world.’
