Great Ouseburn Community Primary School

Science, like the Foundation Subjects, is taught through ‘Learning Adventures’. This is our cross-curricular approach and involves one project that facilitates the use of subject specific skills to a relevant and engaging topic area. The children are encouraged to lead their learning, AfL principles ensure staff are clear of children’s next steps and children share their learning preferences. A link to the National Currulum for Science can be found HERE

Curriculum Coverage is carefully planned to ensure that the national curriculum is taught effectively and the children are able to access deep learning. The skills/statutory coverage is done on a rolling programme but the actual Learning Adventures would NEVER be repeated in the exact same way. This is because the children shape their learning. Adults are facilitators and provide exciting contexts, but never recycled plans!
