Science Curriculum
At Leamore, it is our intent for pupil to learn Science through experimentation, practice and discussion so children gain core knowledge around:
- Scientific vocabulary
- ‘Working scientifically’ skills including systematic and careful observations and following practical scientific methods
- The gathering and interpretation of straightforward scientific evidence
- The use of everyday materials and scientific equipment to solve science problems
- Articulating scientific concepts and using five types of science enquiries
We believe that children should be taught science in a way that helps nurture an understanding of the value of scientific skills. But, we also think science learning should be engaging and inspiring.
We follow the White Rose Science scheme of work for our curriculum for Science. The White Rose Science approach provides our pupils with much needed opportunities to develop oracy and articulation when talking about concepts and allows them to internalise what they are learning more robustly. White Rose have stated their scheme helps to deliver, 'Science, in a fun and logical way' and we agree that this is the case.
In addition, it provides teachers with all the guidance and supporting materials they need to plan and deliver a high quality science education. The schemes of learning provide full coverage of the national curriculum knowledge elements for science but they don’t stop there. They also cover scientific questions around sustainability and the planet, and help children develop empathy for the local and wider environment.
The key to the success of White Rose Science is a small step approach - something that our pupils have shown they work well with across many monitoring sessions in school. White Rose breaks down the essential aspects of key stage science into easily digestible chunks across age-appropriate units.
The Long-term plan has been included below.
