Science

Science is a core subject within the curriculum and is taught throughout the school, harnessing the children’s own natural interest in the world around them.

In the Pre-Prep Department, Science is taught as part of the Creative Curriculum. The children are taught practical scientific methods, processes and skills. They learn to observe closely, using simple equipment. They perform investigations, learn how to identify and classify and use their observations and ideas to suggest answers to questions. The children make predictions, carry out fair tests, gather and record data to help answer questions.

Science Topics

The topics which are covered include: Plants, Animals including Humans, Everyday Materials and their uses, Seasonal Changes, Living things and their Habitats and Space.
