Science

|
|
| Science is the development of an understanding of how the world works through observation, investigation and enquiry. The syllabus is based upon the QCA scheme of work which is modified and supplemented as appropriate. The scheme builds on children's existing experience and knowledge and places much emphasis on practical experience and investigation. | |
| In KS1 the science is linked to the class topic. The two complement and reinforce each other, with the emphasis being largely on practical experience. | |

| In KS2 science is taught as a separate subject though linking where possible with other work. It is taught at two levels to enable pupils to meet each scientific area at least twice within the Key Stage and to develop investigative skills. Where possible the children will have some practical experience in each lesson. At this level the children are asked to develop their own ways of testing ideas fairly, gathering evidence to support their ideas, to evaluate the test and to communicate their findings to the rest of the class | |
