Science and Technology

 

Science is concerned with learning about the natural and made environments by investigating, designing, making and using technology.

 

A ‘hands on fun approach’ is at the core of our curriculum, where children are actively involved in research and experimentation that leads to learning whilst having fun at the same time.
