Summer Term science (2nd half):
Due to the coronavirus pandemic our science curriculum will not be following the Addington schemes of work for this half term.
We are going to take this opportunity for pupils across the whole school to connect with nature, using outdoor learning to gain first-hand experience of the world.
Please visit https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/ to sign up for the 30 Days Wild project and download your digital pack. All resources and a brief video detailing daily ideas for activities will be posted on Earwig every weekday throughout June. We will also be using a few days in July to complete this project. Dip in as and when you can - there is something in this project for everyone!
