Science

Science stimulates and excites pupils’ curiosity about phenomena and events in the world around them. It also satisfies this curiosity with knowledge. Because science links direct practical experience with ideas, it can engage learners at many levels.

Scientific method is about developing and evaluating explanations through experimental evidence and modelling. This is a spur to critical and creative thought. Through science, pupils understand how major scientific ideas contribute to technological change – impacting on industry, business and medicine and improving quality of life.

Pupils recognise the cultural significance of science and trace its worldwide development. They learn to question and discuss science-based issues that may affect their own lives, the direction of society and the future of the world.

Our Science Intent

At St Francis Catholic Primary School, Braintree, our intent is to deliver a great Science curriculum that ignites curiosity, develops scientific thinking, and fosters a deep understanding of scientific concepts. Our aim is to provide all pupils with a solid foundation in Science, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in the wider world.

Year 1 - Geography / Science - What Is The Weather Like Where I Live?

Year 1 have been learning all about the UK and the typical weather that we have in different seasons. We applied all of our knowledge so far and created weather reports for each other! We made our own maps, labelling the countries. We then described the weather in different parts of the UK and even tried to use our new knowledge of North, South, East and West! It was great fun. Watch out Carol Kirkwood!
