We encourage the children to ask questions and investigate their ideas by using real-life examples and anticipating the outcomes. Lessons are designed to stimulate children’s ability to think through a problem and use materials and information to answer questions about the world they live in. We follow the National Curriculum for Science and use science bug to personalise lessons for the needs and abilities of children in our classes. Using a range of resources from a variety of sources children are able to explore scientific concepts such as the plants and animals, materials and their properties and forces and motion, using scientific inquiry to make learning as relevant to the real world as possible. During lessons we aim to embed the skills of ‘Working Scientifically’ consistently throughout the school to enable children to be confident in using technical scientific vocabulary effectively. ### Science Science Curriculum Map 172 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-peters-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/Science_Curriculum_Map_2026_2027.pdf) Science Intent Statement 133 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-peters-catholic-primary-school/files/documents/Science_intent_2023.pdf) ### Twitter [Tweets by stpetersdag](https://twitter.com/stpetersdag?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) - [![Wellbeing Silver](https://files.schudio.com/st-peters-catholic-primary-school/images/menu/SILVER_2024_(1).jpg)](https://st-peter.bardaglea.org.uk/) - [![Healthy Schools](https://files.schudio.com/st-peters-catholic-primary-school/images/menu/Healthy-School-Logo.jpg)](https://st-peter.bardaglea.org.uk/) - [![TFL](https://files.schudio.com/st-peters-catholic-primary-school/images/menu/STARS_Kitemarks_Bronze_2021_jpg.jpg)](https://st-peter.bardaglea.org.uk/) - [![Ofsted](https://files.schudio.com/st-peters-catholic-primary-school/images/menu/download_(9).png)](https://st-peter.bardaglea.org.uk/) - [![Little Wandle](https://files.schudio.com/st-peters-catholic-primary-school/images/menu/LW_logo.jpg)](https://st-peter.bardaglea.org.uk/) - [![Music Mark](https://files.schudio.com/st-peters-catholic-primary-school/images/menu/Music-Mark-Proud-School-2024-25-RGB.png)](https://www.musicmark.org.uk/) - [![UNICEF Bronze Award](https://files.schudio.com/st-peters-catholic-primary-school/images/menu/Bronze-logo.jpg)](https://www.unicef.org.uk/rights-respecting-schools/) - [![Asthma](https://files.schudio.com/st-peters-catholic-primary-school/images/menu/asthma_-_allergy_friendly_school_2026.png)](https://st-peter.bardaglea.org.uk/) ***Please contact Mrs Brown or Miss Bullen at the office if you have any queries*** ### Contact Us **St Peter’s Catholic Primary School** Goresbrook Road Dagenham Essex RM9 6UU Tel: 020 8270 6524 © Copyright 2016–2026 St Peter’s Catholic Primary School– [View Privacy Notice](https://st-peter.bardaglea.org.uk/privacy-notice) School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-peter.bardaglea.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
