Much of the work is of a practical and investigative nature, encouraging children to apply their mathematical knowledge and skills effectively, and to tackle practical problems, involving both independent and co-operative work. Throughout all mathematics, our aim is to ensure that children understand the mathematical skills, concepts and language used. All children are given the opportunity to experience scientific processes and skills and are encouraged to develop the ability to discuss and challenge ideas, through a wide range of appropriate investigative activities. The school has a well-equipped Science and Technology base. The design process gives children experience in a wide variety of skills, designing, making, testing, recording, modifying and in evaluating their work.
Most children enjoy working with computers.
This results in a high motivational factor and encourages concentration and involvement with a piece of work. Word Processing challenges each child at whatever stage of development. We have 13 computers and a number of other technical resources, which are always readily available to the children throughout the day. We hope that all our children leave school with keyboard skills and a reasonable level of computer literacy. The past influences all aspects of our lives.
