Science
Our vision in science is to encourage children’s curiosity so that they ask questions that fuel explorations and investigations about the universe we live in. We believe that children will develop their understanding and knowledge through practical exploration, which are not limited to the classroom, and often lead the children outdoors into nature to investigate. Cross-curricular lessons are also taught on a regular basis, making effective links with the other curriculum areas such as Maths, English and Computing.
