Science
During Science teaching, our aim is to foster a child’s curiosity, interest and independent investigation skills.
At our school, we teach cross-curricular Science as much as possible so that children are able to link their topic and learning to real experiences with real-life applications. All lessons are planned with curriculum objectives in mind but will be adapted to apply to the children’s needs and interests.
At Tenacres we are lucky to have a vast array of resources to help the children learn about Science in a fun and interactive way. We believe Science has to be hands on, enjoyable and purposeful. We also make great use of our school grounds in order to study plants and animals in their natural habitat and the local environment.
As the children progress through the school, they begin to record their work in many ways, including graphs, diagrams, photographs and written investigations with predications. Despite this increase in written methods of recording, our children enjoy Science in a practical and purposeful way.
