Science
Vision and core principles
To promote and develop curious and creative minds
At Edith Moorhouse, we believe effective learning in science occurs when:
Investigations are initiated by the children |
Children are interested and confidently sharing previous knowledge |
Children are given hands on experiences, including taking informed risks |
Children question the teacher to take their learning forward |
Links can be made to topics and real-life encounters |
Appropriate vocabulary is displayed and used by all |
Everyone gets involved |
Resources are relevant to the theme and in good repair |
Curriculum overview
At Edith Moorhouse we seek ways to harness a child's natural curiosity for the world around them. We encourage them to ask questions and come up with their own ways to answer them through an investigative teaching approach. Where possible, science lessons are linked to our existing topics through out the year in addition to enrichment opportunities being provided to enhance the learning that takes place.
Science Week 2024
This year the theme across the country was TIME. Across the week, the children were joined by visitors from multiple industries science related, including shows from Science Oxford. Take a look at the padlet to see of the great learning that has taken place. Science Week Padlet
