Sciences

The Science curriculum at Kemnay PS is carefully crafted to provide children with immersive experiences that encourage exploration, investigation, and learning about the world around them. Through a blend of interactive, hands-on activities, we aim to make science engaging and enjoyable for our students.

By focusing on the fundamental concepts and skills of science, we strive to equip pupils with a solid foundation for lifelong learning. This knowledge and understanding will serve them well as they progress through their education and eventually enter the workforce. Our goal is to instil a curiosity about the natural world and foster a passion for scientific inquiry that will endure beyond their time at Kemnay PS.

At Kemnay Primary School, we believe in integrating science seamlessly into various areas of the curriculum to provide students with real-life, interdisciplinary learning experiences. For instance, we incorporate mathematics for recording and presenting findings, utilise technology to document investigations, and engage literacy skills to communicate findings effectively.

Furthermore, we've strategically planned technology and engineering outcomes into our curriculum, recognising their natural alignment with many scientific concepts and principles.

To ensure consistency and prepare our students for the world of work, we express key science skills using our Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) skills language, fostering a common approach across the school.

Sustainability is a cornerstone of our educational philosophy, and we are committed to nurturing responsible citizenship among our pupils. By providing opportunities to develop a comprehensive understanding of Earth's resources and processes, we empower students to make ethical decisions as they mature and contribute positively to our world.
