Science

Science is a core area in the curriculum and is divided into the following areas
of study:

• Scientific Enquiry
• Life processes and living things
• Materials and their properties
• Physical processes

At Giles Brook we aim to encourage an enquiring mind and a scientific
approach to problems, which may have many answers. The ability to communicate, relate science to everyday life and to explore, are essential elements in the development of scientific understanding and knowledge. We will encourage the children to raise questions, plan, hypothesise and predict outcomes of investigations. Children will be taught to record their findings in a variety of ways (orally, in written form, through drawing pictures or simple charts and diagrams).

We aim to develop a sense of responsibility and a positive attitude towards caring for our environment.
