At Sir Alexander Fleming Nursery and Primary School we recognise the importance of science to give our pupils knowledge and comprehension of the world around them as well as developing the skills related to science as an investigative process. We aspire for our children to be inquisitive in the world around them and plan lessons that develop a long-term love for Science.
Our children are taught a wide curriculum with the working scientifically skills carefully entwined in to the curriculum. Science is planned to stimulate our pupil’s inherent curiosity, promote a respect for all living things and the natural world, and give them the chance to evaluate evidence critically.
All our Science lessons are planned to include: assessment for learning, vocabulary, recap of previous learning, acquire knowledge, practical experiment or a replica, scientific theory and assessment of learning. Children are also taught about examples of successful scientists and careers which include a scientific background.
