Science

We aim to give all our children some understanding of the world around them. When children are studying science at the primary level, they should be acquiring specific skills to help them to think scientifically and the understanding of scientific processes.   All children are encouraged to develop and use a range of skills including observations, planning and investigations. Specific vocabulary for topics is taught and effective questioning to communicate ideas is encouraged. Concepts taught should be reinforced through experiments and experiments rely on evidence. We hope through our teaching our children develop an interest and enthusiasm for Science

Our school uses Q.C.A. Science Guidelines from which the science scheme has been devised. There is an adequate resource bank in school and specialist items are loaned from Project loan library.
