Churchend Primary Academy
Be the best possible version of yourself
Science
At Churchend, our curriculum is designed so that our students will make strong progress in science. We offer a carefully sequenced curriculum using Kapow to deepen children’s understanding. Pupils will be able to use specific vocabulary and practical approaches to answer scientific questions relating to the world around them and gain an understanding of scientific processes and also an understanding of the uses and implications of Science today and for the future. . Our science curriculum enables pupils to develop their curiosity, think critically and begin to evaluate and analyse scientific theories in an age appropriate manner. Where possible, the outside area is used to enhance the curriculum, giving the children opportunities to develop the natural curiosity of each child, encourage respect for living organisms and the physical environment and provide opportunities for critical evaluation of evidence. Science has strong links with Mathematics and children often apply their mathematical skills throughout their scientific enquiries. Specialist vocabulary for topics is taught and built up, and effective questioning to communicate ideas is encouraged.
