Science
At St John Fisher, we believe that children learn science best by being actively involved in it. We ensure that working scientifically and the application of knowledge is embedded into the heart of our science curriculum by providing the children with a range of opportunities to actively carry out different types of scientific enquiries.
Our Science curriculum provides the children with excellent opportunities to not only develop academically, but socially and culturally also. By working collaboratively when conducting scientific enquiries, children develop the positive interpersonal skills necessary for collaborative work. They develop their ability to question, to express their thoughts and consider the validity of evidence - skills that are crucial to navigating the modern world. Children explore their local environment within our school grounds and within our local area of Morden. The children develop their scientific understanding in a context that is relevant and meaningful to them.
St John Fisher follows the Kent scheme of work for Science.
