Science

Science is taught across all terms within the year. Children use science books to record their investigations and other work. Working scientifically is covered throughout science sessions, developing children's ability to investigate, work as a team or individually and present their findings. The school uses the Plan Bee Scheme as a starting point for planning science lessons.

To view the knowledge and skills progression for science, please see the document below:

Skills Progression science

See our curriculum for each year group attached below. Teachers use a variety of resources to enable them to plan lessons effectively, including online resources, books and scientific equipment.

 

Knowledge organisers are also used to support children in remembering important knowledge and skills necessary for each topic. These can be found in relevant year groups below too.
