Science – Our intent, aims and concepts
Aim
Our science curriculum is the vehicle in which we can enhance children’s curiosity and awe and wonder. We want our children to be courageous advocates of change and understand that science knowledge and understanding is one of the driving forces for this.
We want our children to become scientists and to engage in ‘big questions’ in order to enrich their understanding of themselves and the world around them. Through tailored learning experiences, children will be given opportunities to develop their science knowledge and skills in biology, chemistry and physics.
We intend that the study of science will enable our children to:
• Appreciate how our knowledge of science can help them understand the world they live in
• Pose questions and suggest ways in which these can be answered
• Understand that science is continually developing and our understanding of the world is constantly changing and evolving
• Clearly communicate their understanding and knowledge both verbally and through quality writing
• Understand that their actions effect our own lives and those of others
