Science
At St Joseph’s Catholic Voluntary Academy we aim to give children a high-quality science education which provides children with an understanding of our world and the environment around them through our science teaching.
We aim to give all children equal opportunities in Science and teach them specific knowledge and skills relating to their Science topic.
We encourage children to use scientific vocabulary specific to their current science topic through clear modelling and we build upon the children’s vocabulary each year. Children’s questioning is also encouraged as they carry out investigations / observations, driving their learning forwards.
Topics such as ‘animals including humans’ are taught in KS1 and are again studied at a higher level in KS2, enabling children to use what they have already learnt as a foundation before learning new knowledge.
