The theme for 2025 is…’Change and adapt’!

Change and adaptation is all around us

Changing and adapting plays a big part in science; you can find examples in every area of STEM*. Cities, towns and other areas where people live change and adapt as the world’s population grows, plants and animals change and adapt to their surroundings to survive. Technology has changed exponentially and adapted to our new, busier lives (or have we changed as technology has developed?). For example, phone technology has changed rotary home telephones to smartphones.

Beyond our science lessons and experiences at RPS, we also celebrate British Science Week in Spring annually.

British Science Week is a  celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM)

Here at some photographs of the previous years!
The themes have been 'Growth' and 'Innovation'. In 2023 the theme will be 'Connections'.

It is our intent that science lessons at Rothwell Primary School enable our children to gain knowledge about the world around that builds as a ‘journey’ from Reception to Year 6. Learning is interleaved and revisited frequently. It is our aim to help children connect their substantive knowledge of the wider world to practical lessons in order to strengthen their scientific enquiry skills.

We intend for children to be self regulated learners who have a broad range of scientific vocabulary that they can use in and out of lessons. We aim to inspire and spark the interest of our young learners as future STEM leaders.

# data[].attributes.body
Science at Rothwell Primary School has a clear process for planning. There is a document that shows the progression through the various knowledge threads taught. Each phase has a

medium term plan that draws on the learning that has taken place previously for the children. This approach supports revisiting and is planned through ‘phases’ to enable children to deepen their learning.  Science lessons are timetabled across school to be taught once a week for a full afternoon by the class teacher.
