Our Vision for Science at St Michael’s Primary School
At St Michael’s, we embrace Science as a pathway to uncovering the wonders of God’s creation. Our Science Curriculum, aligned with the Science National Curriculum for Key Stages 1 and 2, is designed to ignite curiosity, foster critical thinking, and inspire a deep appreciation for the natural world among children.
Foundations in Key Stages 1 and 2
In Key Stage 1, children embark on an exploration of the world around them, discovering the marvels of God’s creation through hands-on investigations and scientific inquiry. They engage in activities that encourage them to observe, question, and explore natural phenomena, laying a solid foundation for understanding scientific concepts such as forces, materials, and living things.
As children progress to Key Stage 2, our curriculum expands to encompass a broader range of scientific disciplines. Children learn to conduct experiments, analyse data, and draw conclusions based on evidence. They explore topics such as the human body, Earth and space, and the properties of materials, gaining a deeper understanding of the intricate design and order of the universe.
Inspiration from God’s Creation
At St Michael’s, we believe that science reveals the beauty and complexity of God’s creation. From the smallest atoms to the vastness of the cosmos, children are encouraged to marvel at the wonders of nature and recognize the handiwork of a loving Creator. Through scientific exploration, children develop a sense of wonder and awe, fostering a deeper spiritual connection to the world around them.
Our Commitment to Excellence in Science Education
We are committed to providing an exceptional science education that equips children with the knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm to become future scientists and innovators. Our dedicated teachers inspire children to ask questions, investigate theories, and challenge assumptions, cultivating a spirit of inquiry and discovery. By integrating scientific concepts with real-world applications, we prepare children to tackle global challenges and contribute positively to society.
Inspiring Curiosity and Faith
At St Michael’s, science is not just about acquiring knowledge but about nurturing a lifelong curiosity and appreciation for God’s creation. We encourage children to explore the wonders of science with humility and reverence, recognising that each discovery reveals new dimensions of God’s infinite wisdom and creativity. Through our Science Curriculum, we aim to inspire children to stewardship of the Earth and its resources, encouraging them to use their scientific understanding to protect and preserve the natural world.
Through science, we celebrate the beauty and order of God’s creation, cultivate spiritual awareness, and empower children to make a positive impact on their communities and beyond. At St Michael’s , our vision is to nurture a generation of children who embrace the wonder of science, guided by faith and driven by a passion for discovery.
