Science
At St. Andrew’s, science teaching aims to provide all children with a strong understanding of the world around them, whilst acquiring specific skills and knowledge to help them to think scientifically, to gain an understanding of scientific processes and an understanding of the uses and implications of this subject, today and for the future.
Our science teaching uses an enquiry process to allow pupils to learn for themselves. We encourage children to both answer subject specific questions, but also ask their own questions about the world around them. Our curriculum enables children to observe, problem-solve, investigate and question the changing world around them in their handling of scientific-based questions. Our science teaching uses an enquiry process by asking and answering questions and using key vocabulary, which shapes the learning and allows the pupils to learn for themselves. Within Science, we have identified the key knowledge to allow our pupils to become successful scientists. This is set out in more detail in or termly plans.
“People love to wonder, and that is the seed of science.”
