Science
At Barming Primary School we follow the Kent Scheme:
The scheme contains 28 units of work, each one specifically designed to address the primary science national curriculum, which began in September 2014. Each unit contains information and advice required for teachers to provide excellent learning opportunities for their children:
- Clear learning expectations
- Engaging activities to enable the learning to happen
- Advice for each activity as to the type of recording the children could do
- Resources required
- Preparation required
- Key vocabulary
- Background science knowledge for teachers
- Information on key scientists who have worked in the different areas of science
- Assessment grids for each of the units
- Methods to hook children into their learning
- Website links
- Very clear and plentiful examples of how children will be able to address ‘working scientifically’ through practical learning.
Each unit of study has been assigned to a particular year group in line with the guidance from the National Curriculum (2014).
