Science

Science lessons are planned in units which are taught over a half-term period. There is a strong emphasis on investigative learning, with pupils working collaboratively, undertaking practical activities, discussing their work and drawing their own conclusions from their results. Health and Safety Education forms an essential part of the science curriculum.

 

Science is also taught across the curriculum through the use of STEM. 

STEM is an approach to learning and development that integrates the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Through STEM, students develop key skills including: problem solving, creativity and critical analysis.
Using STEM the children are able to increase their experiences both outside the classroom through exploring and hands experiences and inside the classroom by partnering up with professionals involved in STEM careers where appropriate.
