Science – curriculum information
At Bricknell Primary School, the teaching of Science has been carefully considered to enable our pupils to become confident scientists in a range of areas. At Bricknell Primary School, we strive to deliver a high quality Science curriculum which allows our pupils to recognise the significance of Science in their everyday lives. We explicitly teach pupils the skills and knowledge they need to become methodical, analytical and inquisitive scientists. A high quality Science education provides the foundations for understanding the world and stimulates the inquisitive minds necessary for the future. With a focus on developing skills in biology, chemistry and physics; each underpinned by scientific enquiry, pupils are able to experiment and discover just how important Science is in the world today.
At Bricknell, we follow a carefully designed Science curriculum, alongside this our highly skilled subject leader has carefully worked to create a Curriculum Overview Document which demonstrates the sequencing and mapping of their subject to ensure our pupils are given the acquired skills and knowledge to further their education journey into KS3 and life beyond the classroom.
Our aim is to provide inclusive and aspirational environments and learning experiences where pupils thrive and build the cultural capital they need to make aspirational choices about their own futures, overcoming any barriers. In order to achieve this, our curriculum is underpinned by the principles highlighted in our Aspiration Curriculum.

To conclude our learning about Forces, Electricity and Waves, we built our own circuits 💡 🔋 We were given the equipment but had to figure out how to make the bulb light and/or the motor spin. Ask us about this at home #BPSScience @BPSMrsLang
NSS have enjoyed exploring pumpkins using their senses. We used a magnifying glass to look closely at the seeds and flesh. This has developed our understanding of the world and Science learning. #BPSEYFS #BPSScience
NSS have enjoyed learning about The Little Red Hen. The children have sorted the animals into farm and wild animals, discussed what jobs happen on a farm and compared quantities, identifying when each amount is the same. #BPSEYFS #BPSScience #BPSGeography #BPSMaths 🐓
This week in #BPSScience 3RY got active and explored which muscles contracted and relaxed when doing different exercises.
Linking with our Human Body context #BPSScience , we’ve learning Parts of the Body in French 🇫🇷 We really enjoyed singing Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes to help us remember 🎤 🎶 #BPSModernLanguages @falkirk1plus2 @1plus2Gr_mouth @BPSMrsLang
1NS have been true Scientists this week! We have used our investigative skills to decide whether these are down or wing feathers! 🔎🐦#BPSScience
