At Trimley St Martin, we feel that Science is a great way for children to make sense of the world around them as well as to use the skills they have gained in Maths and Literacy. We aim to teach Science in a wide variety of ways including, but not limited to: encouraging the children to ask and then answer their own questions; carrying out practical investigations; carrying out research projects.
In EYFS, the teachers plan scientific activities for the children to work on as part of their continuous provision.
In Year 1, children can expect to spend at least an hour a week on Science.
In Year 2, children will spend at least 1.5 hours on Science each week.
In KS2, each class spends 2 hours on Science each week.
Lessons follow materials from Rising Stars and are also supplemented by a range of other Science teaching resources.

Royal Society Young People's book prize 2021
|
We have been really lucky to be invited to take part in the Royal Society Young People’s Book Prize 2021. This means we have been sent 6 shortlisted books to review. I have worked with a small group of children from Years 5 and 6 and a separate group of children from Years 3 and 4 to do this. After the children had had the opportunity to look at each of the books, we then discussed which we felt was our overall winner – the book the children found was the most inspirational, easy to read, fun to look at and engaging.
The children took their roles of judges very seriously and were really good at commenting on the books they read each week. They are all really looking forward to being able to have more opportunities to look at the books and I’m sure they will be recommending them to their friends! |
