Science helps young children explore the world around them through observation and simple experiments. As per the national curriculum, pupils learn about plants, animals, everyday materials, and seasonal changes. At Tornedale, children’s science lessons are tailored to our golden threads; caring, fantastic features and our environment. Children learn to care for living things, exploring plants and animals with curiosity and kindness. They discover fantastic features like animal adaptations and plant growth. Learning about our environment—sustainability, seasons, weather, and habitats—teaches them responsibility, encouraging respect and care for the world around them. We encourage children to ask questions, make predictions, and begin to understand cause and effect. Using hands-on activities, they learn how to gather evidence, record results, and discuss their findings. Science at this stage encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. It builds a strong foundation for future learning by connecting classroom knowledge to real-life experiences. Fun and engaging lessons nurtures a lifelong interest in exploring how things work in the natural world.
