This document shows the Core Knowledge, Wider Knowledge and Skills each year group cover.
Core knowledge is the key knowledge that builds year upon year to build strong scientific development. The wider knowledge builds our children’s cultural capital and understanding of the world and the skills allow children to develop transferable skills to apply across different contexts alongside their newly acquired knowledge.
Please read our science policy for more information about what science looks like at Saint Patrick’s.
Please read our science progression document which demonstrates how children build on prior knowledge to acquire new knowledge in science. An updated version with the new EYFS curriculum is in progress.
