Science
Statement of Intent
At Barley Mow Primary, we believe that science enables childrem to develop a deep understanding of the world around them and their place in it. We want to inspire our children to pursue their natural curiosity and create inquisitive learners, who are confident in questioning and understanding the world around them. We want our pupils to reflect on their findings, make mistakes and learn from them all the while acquiring and applying core skills which will equip them for an ever-changing world.
Our science curriculum broadens the children’s understanding of what science is, how it links with the wider world and the opportunities it holds for their future.
We do this by:
- Exploring science with all children on a weekly basis, including the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics, with topics drawn from the National Curriculum 2014.
- regularly including investigations that embed the “Working Scientifically” strand of the National Curriculum.
- Creating lessons that foster a love and wonder of science.
- Showcasing a broad range of science careers to demonstrate the real world application of science.
