*A million dreams*

Science

Ignite your curiosity – understand the world.

At Woodlands, we embrace each child's unique learning style, fostering scientific understanding through diverse, engaging methods.

Outdoor Learning
From Nursery to Key Stage Two, students investigate local wildlife, natural light sources and seasonal changes, connecting classroom concepts with real-world experiences.

Scientific Investigations
We prioritise first-hand experiences to develop essential scientific skills like predicting, hypothesising, and evaluating. Through the use of post-it planning, students articulate, plan and assess their investigations, promoting active engagement and critical thinking.

Secondary Resources
To enrich understanding, students access secondary resources, including 'Read to Learn' materials and digital research tools.

Curriculum Structure

  • Terms 1–4: Focused lessons on scientific enquiry develop many skills, including questioning, predicting and observing.
  • Terms 5–6: Science becomes the primary curriculum driver in our Million Dreams Curriculum, with integrated investigations reinforcing scientific concepts.
