At Keys Stages 1 and 2 we follow the 2014 National Curriculum. We have adapted it in a planning grid that fits our context and creative learning journey units. This ensures that all aspects of the national curriculum requirements for science are covered and that there is continuity and progression.
We place a significant emphasis on the development of working scientifically. We also have a whole school approach to children carrying out investigations which encourages their intellectual independence and ability to work as a team.
Where possible we will try and link science units to our Creative Learning Journey (CLJ) planning and in some cases the CLJ unit will be science based.
