Science

Subject Leader: Miss J. Wright

We live in an increasingly scientific and technological age where children need to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes to prepare them for life in the 21st century. We, at Ireleth St Peter's Primary School believe that the teaching of science develops in children an interest and curiosity about the world in which they live, and fosters in them a respect for the environment.

 
We aim that all pupils:
· Are introduced to the language and vocabulary of science
· Develop practical skills and their ability to make accurate and appropriate measurements
· Develop enjoyment and interest in science and an appreciation of its contribution to all aspects of everyday life
· Build on their curiosity and sense of awe of the natural world
· Use a planned range of investigations and practical activities to allow them a greater
· Understanding of the concepts and knowledge of science

Every year, we celebrate British Science Week by immersing ourselves in scientific investigations, experiments and opportunities to learn new skills. 

In 2024, the theme was Time which gave us lots of fascinating avenues to explore. Click the text below to see the amazing activities the classes took part in.

British Science Week 2024


All of our classes participated in lots of scientific investigations including...

Magic Milk!

For this experiment, we dropped food colouring onto a plate on milk. We then dipped a toothpick into washing up liquid and held it in the milk. Due to the different density of the milk, food colouring and washing up liquid, the food colouring spread out, creating beautiful tie dye patterns in the milk!
