The pictures below show children in EYFS linking Science to their English text, 'Bears Don't Eat Egg Sandwiches.'
Science at Sir Henry Fermor is an engaging subject where the children are exposed to a knowledge rich curriculum where the facts are consolidated first. The children are then encouraged to think like scientists in order to investigate and understand everyday scientific phenomena. Through scientific enquiry, children will be able to explore and appreciate the how and the why that surrounds science in the world around us.
Science teaching and learning will focus on:
Throughout their time at Fermor, children will revisit most topics, building on their existing knowledge to create a deeper understanding of the subject. From Early years to Year 6, there are opportunities for exploration and investigation with children at the centre of everything we do. In Science at Fermor we inspire the children, believe in their ability and help them achieve as they should.
For further information about Science at Fermor School, please view our Science Policy Statement which can be found here.
Our displays around the school model how we build on the children's existing knowledge and deepen their understanding. The children at Sir Henry Fermor start each topic by recording what they know and want to know as we travel through their learning journey. We solve our questions through investigations and testing, investigating in books and using secondary sources, and by observing what happens over time.
