An enquiry, skills and knowledge based learning curriculum, where the children need to consider big questions and the process of how to answer them through investigations.
Our school has ensured that children have access to an enquiry, skills and knowledge based learning curriculum, where the children need to consider big questions and the process of how to answer them through investigations. Additionally, they acquire key skills and knowledge through well-honed and purposeful activities which keep the children engaged and give them a sense of awe and wonder about the world.
The children at George Tomlinson enjoy Science lessons, which are often linked to their topics in Humanities. Enquiry plays a huge role in their Science learning, such that whether they are learning about Plants, Forces, Teeth, Electricity, or Space, they are continually able to ask questions, and answer them scientifically. The children develop a rich scientific understanding and vocabulary through this practical work, as well as through Science linked trips.
