Science
The Science curriculum at Lindridge St Lawrence CE VA Primary aims for pupils to Discover Life in all its Fullness through developing a complex knowledge of biology, chemistry and physics but also adopt a broad range of skills in working scientifically and beyond. We emphasise the importance of language and using scientific vocabulary. The scheme of work is inclusive and meaningful so all pupils may experience the joy of science and make associations between their science learning and their lives outside the classroom to help them understand future aspirational Horizons. Studying science allows pupils to appreciate how new knowledge and skills can be fundamental to solving arising global challenges. The curriculum aims to encourage critical thinking and develop a more rigorous understanding of science and scientific thinking which will empower pupils to question the hows and whys of the world around them.
We believe that science is a practical subject, where investigation and exploration are at the core. Where possible, we seek for children to make discoveries themselves, ask questions and work independently and with their peers. The beautiful grounds at Lindridge are home to a variety of animals and it provides a rich environment in which to explore and learn.
