At our school, Science is an exciting and hands-on subject where curiosity leads the way. Children are encouraged to ask questions, explore the world around them, and develop a love of discovery through practical activities, investigations, and experiments.

Throughout primary school, children will study a wide range of engaging topics, including:

• Living Things and Their Habitats – exploring plants, animals, life cycles, and caring for the environment.

• Everyday Materials – investigating their properties, uses, and how they can change.

• Forces and Magnets – learning how things move, push and pull, and the role of magnetism.

• Light and Sound – discovering how we see, hear, and how light and sound travel.

• Earth and Space – looking at our planet, the solar system, and beyond.

• Electricity – building circuits and understanding how electricity is used safely.

• The Human Body – learning about growth, health, and the importance of nutrition and exercise.

Science lessons are designed to be practical and engaging, giving children opportunities to work scientifically by making predictions, carrying out tests, recording results, and drawing conclusions. We aim to nurture not only knowledge but also key skills such as critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving.

By the end of Year 6, children will have built a strong foundation in scientific understanding, ready to continue their journey of discovery in the wider world.
