Science Statement
At Woodchurch C of E, we aim to instil our pupils full of awe, wonder and curiosity about the world around them. Our science lessons ensure this is achieved through exciting, hands on lessons, encouraging children to question what they know and what they want to find out. In Key Stage 2 we endeavour to cover the three main areas of science: Biology(humans, animals and plants), Chemistry(all things to do with materials and how they change) and Physics(forces, light, sound electricity and earth and space). In Key Stage 1 the focus is on Biology and Chemistry
We use the ‘Science Bug’ programme of work as a basis for our lessons, which has been designed around the new curriculum and is full of exciting lessons to enthuse and nurture our scientists of the future.
