Science
At Queen Boudica we follow the National Curriculum for Science in KS1 and KS2. We aim to understand the world through a range of focuses surrounding biology, chemistry and physics. We hope to give children the opportunity to develop their scientific knowledge through as much practical experience as possible. Some of science learning is through a more topical approach such as 'Space' and 'Wiggle and Crawl'.
Our Knowledge Organisers show what elements are taught in which year group and show how knowledge is built upon each year to ensure children are ready for each new stage of their science education.
