Pupil Voice

I love science as I get to be independent and do lots of experiements. Sometimes we work with partners and sometimes table groups. My favourite experiment was investigating the best conditions for mold to grow on bread!

In the autumn term, we had a very exciting visit from the Animal Man company! The children were introduced to a wide variety of fascinating creatures, including a leopard gecko, an owl, a honey bear, a skunk, a snake, and even a VERY large cockroach! The visit sparked lots of curiosity and excitement as the children learned interesting facts about each animal.

How do we support our Curriculum Drivers through Science?

Possibilities – We encourage pupils to be aware of all opportunities available to them and to have high aspirations for their future, regardless of their gender or background. Career links are made where possible to show our students what science careers they could follow in the future, should they wish to.

Resilience – We encourage pupils to have the courage to bounce back from any set-backs or challenges and maintain a positive outlook on the scientific process. They understand that repeated experiments, readings and reflections may be required.

Diversity – We achieve this by regularly teaching diverse scientists. For example, LKS2 meet a female marine biologist (Texa Sim) prior to starting their ‘Living things and habitats’ topic. In Y5, children are introduced to Mae C. Jemison alongside Neil Armstrong.
