Science
To learn with understanding, the primary aged child requires work of a practical nature. Science at Guillemont is concerned with children asking questions about their real world and finding answers by some kind of first hand experience alongside knowledge and teaching supplied by the teacher. Most science work will be planned through topics where scientific skills, knowledge and understanding will be taught through experimentation and investigation.
Communication with others plays an important part in the learning process. Children’s learning will be supported through discussion with peers and adults. Through talk and informal writing they are able to make their ideas clearer to themselves, as well as making them available for reflection, discussion and checking.
