Sudbury Primary School

Here at Sudbury, our class teachers love to teach science! Pupils will be provided with opportunities to carry out practical experiments and apply their knowledge of science to the real world. They will be covering the National Curriculum and linking their learning to the themed spiral curriculum wherever possible.

Our vision is to stimulate pupils' curiosity and encourage them to confidently explore and discover the world around them, so that they develop a greater understanding of how and why things happen.

Pupils will be regularly assessed after each topic.

Below is an outline of what each child will cover during their time at Sudbury Primary School.

National Science week will be commencing 16th-20th March 2019 and we will be holding a science day on Friday 31st January.

Pupils should be encouraged to revise science through the BBC website:

STEM Club

STEM IS CURRICULUM CENTRED BASED ON THE IDEA OF EDUCATING CHILDREN IN FOUR SPECIFIC DISCIPLINES — SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS.

Rather than teach the four disciplines as separate subjects, STEM joins them into a cohesive learning model based on real-world applications.

Here are some pictures of what the children have been making in the STEM CLUB.

We have also been awarded the Primary Science Quality mark which shows that the profile and quality of science teaching and learning in our school is very high. Children are engaging with great science both in and outside the classroom, developing positive attitudes towards science as well as secure scientific understanding and skills.
