Science
Intent:
At Burnham on Crouch Primary School, our vision is to give children a Science curriculum which enables them to explore and discover the world around them to create a deeper understanding of the world that we live in. To achieve this we ensure that science in our school includes practical experiments which create a sense of wonder.
Our aim is to create future thinkers that are ambitious and want to extend their scientific knowledge and vocabulary. Our curriculum aims to broaden the children’s scientific view of the world around them, whilst promoting a love for enquiry and wanting to explore new things. It gives them the chance to learn a range of skills which they can use throughout their life. We will harness and challenge their scientific skills to equip them to become young, confident scientists of the 21st Century. As a school we are delighted to have achieved the Primary Science Quality Mark, a nationally recognised award which celebrates a commitment to excellence in Science teaching and learning.
We believe that everyone is a scientist!.

Bikeability Course 3! Well done to our Year 6 children! #bikeability
STEM part 2: Year 5 took part in our first STEM Enrichment session on 13th September. The theme of the day was: Witches and Wizards. The children attended Potions class during the morning where they carried out a range of experiments and then made ice cream and lemonade. Care of Magical Creatures was next , where the children designed, using a CAD programme, and made bird perches for Hedwig using woodwork skills.
Here are some comments from the children:
“I enjoyed it so much.” Mia
“It was so fun” Jack
“I loved it!” Ava
“It was really exciting.” Sienna
“I had a truly wonderful time.” Daisy
“ I want to be an engineer.” Rosa
“I love STEM!” #stemeducation #psqm
