Science curriculum

At The Faber Catholic Primary School we want every child to be happy and enthusiastic learners of Science, and to be eager to achieve their very best in order to fulfil their God-given talents. We firmly believe that the recipe for success is high quality first-wave teaching in Science, which is central to the life of our happy, caring school. 

By the time children leave in Y6, they will have a wealth of scientific knowledge and understanding covering the following areas: -  Animals including humans, Plants, Living things and their habitats, Sound, Light, Electricity, Earth and space, Seasonal change, Materials, Rocks and Soils, Evolution and Inheritance, Forces and States of Matter. 

Class 2

This half term class 2 have been exploring materials and their properties. We have been carrying out lots of tests on materials to find out which ones would be suitable for different purposes, such as suitable materials for umbrellas and materials for rabbit cages. We tested out materials to see which ones would work best for an umbrella. We used paper, sponges, waterproof materials and tissue and sprayed each one with water above a willing volunteers head to see if any kept them dry! We had lots of fun! 
We have also been busy creating our own bubble snakes, using bottles, tights and socks! Take a look at the pictures below!
