Science at St Catherine's
We want our children to be curious about the world around them. Our lessons nurture curiosity and provides children with hands-on, investigative and interesting scientific experiences. Children are encouraged to develop scientific enquiry and begin to answer their own questions through experimentation and exploration. Our science learning introduces our pupils to a range of scientists, both old and new, to encourage them to understand how science has benefited the wider world. We believe science encompasses the acquisition of knowledge, concepts, skills and positive attitudes. Throughout the programmes of study, the children will acquire and develop the key knowledge that has been identified within each unit and across each year group, as well as the application of scientific skills. We also celebrate Science week which gives children the opportunity to learn about science beyond the National Curriculum.
