Our children access a science curriculum that is rich in scientific enquiry and stimulates an inquisitive mind. 

Science is taught and planned following PZAZ and is adapted to meet the needs of all learners.

Science is taught every half term and it covers the National curriculum expectations. It is planned in blocks, to ensure that children have an immersive and comprehensive learning experience. Science is progressive and built upon to support retention and recall. Children are encouraged to overlearn prior knowledge at the beginning of each lesson and this is clearly outlined on knowledge organisers.

Learning about key figures will broaden the knowledge of the children by teaching them about a diverse and multi-cultural range of scientists throughout history and their impact on the modern day. Each unit of work is aligned with an influential scientist to support this. We teach explicitly the key vocabulary needed to support the learning from the topic.

Key vocabulary is displayed on the working wall as well as on the knowledge organisers so that they can be referred back to easily in each lesson. Children are encouraged to use correct scientific vocabulary through explanations, discussions and written work.
