SCIENCE AT ULEY SCHOOL
Children are naturally inquisitive and like to explore the world around them. We treasure our children’s curiosity and maximise it through exciting teaching which fosters their enjoyment and interest for the subject; creating little scientists.
Implementation
Science Cycle A Rolling Programme
Science Cycle B Rolling Programme
Scientific Enquiry Progression
Impact
The impact and measure of science is to ensure children not only acquire the appropriate age related knowledge linked to the science curriculum, but also skills which equip them to progress from their starting points, and within their everyday lives.
We monitor and assess the impact of our science learning through both formative and summative assessments. Each lesson provides the teacher with the opportunity to assess the children against the learning objective, this may be through discussions with children or a more formal piece of work. At the end of each unit children will be assessed on their understanding by completing a short assessment.
All children will have:
- A wider variety of skills linked to both scientific knowledge and understanding, and scientific enquiry/investigative skills.
- A richer vocabulary which will enable to articulate their understanding of taught concepts.
- High aspirations, which will see them through to further study, work and a successful adult life.
