Science

As young scientists, children at Brampton Primary School are taught science on a one year cycle through exciting half termly topics to cover the breadth and balance of the Early Years Foundation Stage (Nursery and Reception) and the New  National Curriculum 2014. Children are encouraged to explore and investigate through a range of practical investigative activities. There is a balance of knowledge and understanding, enquiry and investigation. Children apply their literacy and maths skills throughout their science learning.

Rising Stars Science is the main scheme that the school uses to teach Key Stage One and Key Stage Two science learning and continuity and progression is ensured through careful planning of differentiated activities. 

Wherever possible, links are made between the science learning and class thematic topics, so the children have a clear purpose for their learning and links to everyday life.
