Science

Here at Brooke Primary School we recognise the value that a high-quality science curriculum can offer to our pupils. All pupils are entitled to access a high quality, broad and balanced science curriculum. We recognise the importance of science in every aspect of daily life and as one of the core subjects taught in primary schools. At the Foundation Stage, our science teaching aims to give all children an increased knowledge and understanding of our world, whilst developing specific skills associated with enquiry and thinking scientifically.

We aim to develop the natural curiosity of the child, encourage respect for living organisms and the physical environment and provide opportunities for critical evaluation of evidence. Our medium terms plans specify the knowledge and vocabulary to be taught throughout each unit of work, with some topics supported by knowledge organisers. Beyond the National Curriculum, we also aim to teach our children about the work of a range of influential scientists and their achievements, whilst promoting understanding and interest in future possible science careers and pathways.

Rose Class recently enjoyed a trip to Ranworth Broad as part of their learning in Science this term. They had the opportunity to put their knowledge of parts of a plant, how plants grow and what pollination is to the test!
