Science is taught weekly to all year groups with a particular focus on scientific enquiry. The aim is to provide all children with the knowledge and subsequent skills needed to build on and extend their enquiring minds.
Science is the study of the physical world around us. At Hodnet school we encourage children to be inquisitive about the world around them. We aim to give every child a broad and balanced Science curriculum which enables them to confidently explore and discover what is around them so that they have a deeper understanding of the world we live in. Through direct knowledge teaching, observations and physical experiments children can learn and form ideas about their world. At Hodnet we want our children to love science and to understand that anyone can be a scientist. We want children to aim high and strive to achieve their scientific ambitions.
Science Lead at Hodnet School is Miss Evans (Class 5 Teacher)
