Science

At Forty Hill, we aim to ignite curious minds and nurture a passion for learning. Science allows opportunities for this to be experienced practically both inside and outside the classroom. This enables our children to develop the confidence to actively explore the world around them.

We believe that seeing and experiencing science in action is the most successful way for children to develop as scientists -  who can plan, conduct and evaluate their own experiments and understand the importance of trial and error.

Children are given the opportunity to have first-hand experiences which allow them to answer scientific questions themselves and grow in confidence to actively explore these. Children develop their scientific knowledge alongside working scientifically. Through this approach, children are not only able to develop their skills in scientific experiments but also deepen their knowledge of the topics we cover.
