The overarching aim for Science is to encourage children to:
- develop a questioning mind through a range of interesting and enjoyable experiences
- develop a systematic and logical way of working
- apply skills and knowledge to investigations
- come to a gradually deepening understanding of scientific concepts
- work safely and carefully.
At Shiplake Primary School it is our intention that the science curriculum encourages children to be curious. Our curriculum intends to capture the excitement of scientific discovery, through providing children with a wide range of interesting and enjoyable experiences. This allows the children to raise and answer questions about the world around them in a meaningful way and helps them to develop their scientific knowledge, skills and vocabulary. As the children progress through the school they become more independent in leading their own learning and lines of enquiry. In this way, we intend to bring science to life for all pupils.
