There are many opportunities for children to gain cultural capital in science at Etwall Primary School, for example:

 'No Electricity Day' in Year 3/4.

Snap Circuits as part of Electricity unit

School grounds (forest area) used to explore the natural environment.

First Aid after school club which was made available for KS2 children for 8 weeks.

Famous scientists used as a stimuli for writing in English lessons and as part of our assemblies. 

See below for our British Science Week assembly, looking at how science impacts our lives every day and how scientists all started by being curious - one of our school values. 

 Using the school grounds to explore about nature.

Using a range of texts to promote reading enabling children to develop scientific vocabulary.

 

Knowledge Organisers are introduced to the children at the start of a topic. They are tools to help children gain, retain and build knowledge. Knowledge Organisers contain:
  • the essential facts about the topic 
  • key vocabulary with meanings
  • labelled diagrams
