Science

Subject led by Mrs Rowling

At St Chad's we believe our children have the right to be taught key knowledge and skills across the Science curriculum in order to help them to develop an understanding of the world around them. We are committed to providing a creative and engaging curriculum through exciting learning opportunities to all of our children. In EYFS, children explore scientific concepts under the heading of Understanding of the World and teaching and learning is focused around each child’s first hand experiences. In Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 scientific theories and concepts are explored through investigations. Children are taught and encouraged to predict, observe, measure, interpret, conclude and evaluate. We want to channel children’s natural curiosity of the world around them to inspire them to pursue further scientific enquiries. We want to encourage them to ask questions, problem solve and discuss their own theories and ideas.

Our Science lessons aren’t just limited to the classroom... we make use of our wonderful outdoor facilities including the woodlands, field and playground in order to maximise the children's learning experiences. All classes from Nursery to Year 6 are frequent vistors to the local farm in Winsford. Farmer Rosie links the learning at the farm to the class topics. This allows children to develop the key skills of investigation, problem solving and team work; empowering children to question the world around them and become scientific thinkers.

Science Day

Unfortunately last years World Science Day had to be postponed because of the closure of schools. This year we are feeling confident that we will be able to go ahead with the day as it is so imprtant that our children understand the importance and relevance of Science in daily life. We will launch science day closer to the time but in the mean time I can give you a sneek peek........
