Science
At Lytchett Matravers Primary school, we provide our children with a comprehensive and progressive Science curriculum. This not only gives them the knowledge they need to understand the world around them but also opportunities to find the joy in learning experiences. Children are enabled to develop their own lines of questioning and find answers to these questions through investigations and experimentation.
In order to provide children with key opportunities to ‘Yearn to learn’, the focus of learning is through practical Science lessons. Our approach aims to build an awareness of how science influences everyday life and drives progress in society. We encourage pupils to become reflective, responsible individuals who use scientific knowledge and skills to make informed decisions and contribute positively to the world around them. The curriculum is designed to be both accessible and ambitious, ensuring all learners’ full participation and ability to achieve.
Teachers assess scientific knowledge and how the children work scientifically during lessons through observation of children, interaction and their written work.
