Science
We are scientists!
Our Science Curriculum
At Northlands Primary School & Nursery we believe that as educators of Science, we must strive to foster and develop an interest in the subject, in order to prepare our pupils for life in an increasingly scientific and technological world. In particular, we endeavour to embolden our students to pursue a scientific inquiry of the world around them, through scientific experimentation and investigation in the classroom. Furthermore, as staff we do our utmost to provide our children with the skills to present and communicate their findings in a variety of ways, as well as evaluate their answers. Children are taught to question theories and observations made and understand the importance of further research and development.
