Science

In the first years of schooling, much of the science curriculum is based around real-life experiences for children. This includes everyday plants and animals, as well as finding out about different materials and the four seasons. There are likely to be lots of opportunities for exploring scientific ideas both in the classroom and the local surroundings.

During Key Stage 2 (Years 3 to 6), the strands of Science become more recognisable as biology, chemistry and physics. Children will continue to carry out their own experiments to find out about the world around them, and to test their own hypotheses about how things work
