There are a range of teaching and learning approaches being used – mind maps, annotated diagrams, classifying and grouping activities, questioning. Starting with a question Mind Mapping Annotated diagrams Grouping and classifying

6. Look at how good our science work is! Practical activities and hands on experiences. Concept mapping and concept cartoons introduced and used in classrooms. Experimenting and recording findings

7. We use lots of great resources in science! Children in year 5 using force meters and light meters in science lessons. Year 4 investigating teeth. Solar system sets bought for year 5 class for Earth and Space topic. Teachers and children make use of natural resources from the environment around them.

8. C1: All pupils are actively engaged in a science enquiry; using a variety of enquiry strategies, independently making decisions, using evidence to answering their own questions, solving real problems, evaluating their work. Pupils in year 4 solving a real life problem – ‘which drink is the worst for tooth decay?’ Children in year 1 coming up with their own questions to research for their science topic. Children in year 6 answering their own questions using evidence from research.

9. We enjoy our science experiences in school! Children in both Key Stages have the opportunity to sign up for a ‘Young Einstein's’ science club. This is very popular! The most important principle for us was to make science fun and engaging. Year 2 enjoying outdoor science learning! Year 5 enjoy investig ating during their science lessons
