- The children at Sherington complete a science-based study each half term. Science work is a reflection of science in the real world and is investigated through first-hand experiences. The children are taught to develop their scientific thinking skills and knowledge. They are then given opportunity to communicate these skills and knowledge with others through discussions.
- Science work also develops curiosity, reflection, perseverance, open mindedness, creativity, inventiveness and sensitivity to living and non-living things.
Ofsted 2001: "Standards of attainment, in Science, at the end of Key Stage 1 and in year 3 are above national expectations. Teachers have good subject expertise and they usefully show pupils that science should be applied to everyday life, as well as developing scientific enquiry skills."
