At Rosehill Methodist, our Science curriculum gives children opportunities to think independently and raise questions about working scientifically. Our ambitious curriculum design ensures children have the ability to undertake practical work in a variety of contexts, including fieldwork. Our curriculum is specifically designed to develop children’s investigative skills, written and verbal explanations, problem solving and the ability to report scientific findings in a variety of ways.

Every investigation develops key scientific knowledge, understanding and application of scientific terminology, encouraging children to think and behave as a scientist. 

Through this ambitious curriculum, we aim to instil a passion for Science and its application in past, present and future technologies, linking to our curriculum driver: ‘Aspiration’.

EYFS – The Natural World

Children are encouraged to explore the natural world around them, making observations and drawing pictures of animals and plants. They are taught some similarities and differences between the natural world around them and contrasting environments, drawing on their experiences and what has been read in class. Children will understand some important processes and changes in the natural world around them, including the seasons and changing states of matter.
