Science

At Mattishall Primary School our intent for Science is to encourage children to be inquisitive throughout their time at the school and beyond.

The Science curriculum (supported by Cornerstones) fosters a healthy curiosity in children about our universe and promotes respect for the living and non-living. We aim to give all children a strong understanding of the world around them whilst acquiring specific skills and knowledge to help them to think scientifically, to gain an understanding of scientific processes and also an understanding of the uses and implications of science, today and for the future. We ensure that the Working Scientifically skills are built-on and developed throughout children’s time at the school so that they can apply their knowledge of science when using equipment, conducting experiments, building arguments and explaining concepts confidently and continue to ask questions and be curious about their surroundings.
