At Colebourne Primary School, our science curriculum is designed to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and a deep understanding of the natural world. We are committed to following the year group guidance provided by the national curriculum, ensuring that our students receive a comprehensive and age-appropriate science education.
In addition to adhering to the national curriculum, we are dedicated to incorporating the science of learning into our teaching methods. We recognize that students learn best when their cognitive, emotional, and social needs are met. Therefore, our approach to science education is rooted in the latest research on how students learn, adapting our teaching strategies to promote engagement and retention.
Through a combination of hands-on experiments, inquiry-based learning, and interactive activities, our students develop scientific skills and knowledge in a fun and engaging way. We encourage them to ask questions, make observations, and draw conclusions, fostering a passion for science that extends beyond the classroom. Our goal is to empower our students to become lifelong learners and critical thinkers in the ever-evolving field of science.
