Science
Our high quality science education ensures that pupils are encouraged to recognise the power of rational explanation. In doing so, we aim to develop a sense of excitement and curiosity around this subject. Our pupils will be encouraged to understand how science can be used to explain what is occurring in the world. They will also predict how things will behave and analyse causes. Children will build up an extended list of specialist vocabulary and they will also apply their mathematical knowledge to their understanding of science, including collecting, presenting and analysing data. At Parkdale, we aim to maximise the pupils’ engagement with and motivation to study science..

Planting in Forest Schools
Year 4 have been busy this week planting some bulbs in Parkdale Pines. The children hope these will add some new life and colour in the spring.

Digital Learning
Year 4 were learning about the ear and how they hear. They did some research using AR and the app Expeditions. They took screen shots and made a video using either Clips or Keynote, then using the voice recording to explain what they had found out.
STEAM Week
Reception to Year 6 all took part in STEAM week enjoying the live farming and learning about sustainability with farming and how we can grow our own food and save our carbon footprint. Take a look at our 2 videos that show off all our learning.
