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 about the subject. Our pupils are encouraged to understand how science can be used to explain what is happening in the world around them. They will also make predictions about how things will behave and analyse the causes of events and phenomena. Children will build an extensive scientific vocabulary and apply their mathematical knowledge to their understanding of science, including collecting, presenting and analysing data. At Parkdale, we aim to maximise pupils’ engagement with and motivation to study science. We currently follow the White Rose Science scheme, which provides a coherent and progressive curriculum that develops scientific knowledge, enquiry skills and a deeper understanding of scientific concepts through practical and engaging learning experiences.

STEM Week

Nursery to Year 6 all took part in STEM week enjoying the experiments to explore their curiosity. Learning about the environment and how to care for the vast number of creatures within our eco-system. Our community challenge was to create a feeder: bird or butterfly or for another animal so that we could put them into our forest school to encourage the animals.
