Science is about developing an understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

The science curriculum draws upon children's natural curiosity and enables them to investigate the answers to scientific questions in a logical way. They do a great deal of practical work as well as using sources like information books and information technology.

The main areas of investigation are:

~ Life and living processes e.g. what plants and animals need to live and grow.

~ Materials and how they change e.g. the effects of freezing and boiling.

~ Simple physics e.g. electricity and magnetism.
