Science is a core subject and an important part of the Jubilee Curriculum.
We follow the Science National Curriculum closely, ensuring that all children:
Units:
Year 1: Everyday materials, Plants including seasonal changes, Animals including humans
Year 2: Animals including humans, Uses of everyday materials, Plants, Living things & their habitats
Year 3: Rocks, Light, Forces and Magnets, Plants, Animals including humans
Year 4: Electricity, Sound, States of matter, Living things and their habitats, Animals including humans
Year 5: Properties and changes of materials, Forces, Earth and space, Living things and their habitats, Animals including humans
Year 6: Light, Animals including humans, Electricity, Evolution and inheritance, Living things and their habitats
As children are taught the content of each unit, they are given opportunities to develop their ‘working scientifically’ skills across a range of areas throughout the school year. These are consolidated at the end of the year and returned to each subsequent year in more depth:
At the start of each unit children are given knowledge organisers with the key learning for that topic. These are used for quizzing throughout the topic. Some examples are below.
Y1 Science Animals including Humans Knowledge Organiser
Y2 Science Animals Including Humans Knowledge Organiser
Y3 Science Rocks Knowledge Organiser
Y4 Science Electricity Knowledge Organiser
Y5 Science Properties and Changes of Materials Knowledge Organiser
