Sherington CE School
  Science
Studying playground materials at first hand  
  • 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.
