Science at wellhouse
our aims
From Reception all the way up to Year 6, we encourage curiosity through exploration, observation and hands-on investigation, following a well planned science scheme from Kapow Primary, which supports pupils in meeting the Early Learning Goals for understanding the World and the end of key stage attainment targets set out in the National Curriculum.
Progression of skills and knowledge
By following a structured, spiral curriculum, giving a clear pathway for learning, the skills and knowledge taught in each year group are built up each other from year to year.
Children's scientific knowledge and understanding is supported by gaining the foundational knowledge of key scientific concepts; addressing common misconceptions; learning specialist vocabulary to articulate scientific ideas.
They are supported to work scientifically by learning about the scientific processes and methods through methods of enquiry, including observing over time; pattern-seeking; indentifying, classifying and grouping; comparative and fair testing; and researching using secondary sources.
Children experience science in action by learning about famous scientists of the past and the methods they used; identifying how scientific understanding has changed over time; exploring jobs and careers related to science.

science in action
Class 1 used their sense of taste to test a range of food items, identifying sweet, salty, soud and bitter flavours. They learned that these flavours are identified by the tastebuds which are on the tongue.
