Welcome to the Early Years Specialist Science classes
My name is Vivien and I’ll be teaching your child Science for 1 session per week for the year.. During the science lessons your child will be exposed to a range of hands-on experiences such as close encounters with live animals and insects. Various times throughout the year your child will be expected to gather certain information or materials from home (a letter will always accompany the task). Your cooperation with this is vital for your child to fully participate in all aspects of the program.
The Science focus for each term will be:
Term 1 – Biological Sciences
Term 2 – Earth and Space Sciences
Term 3 – Physical Sciences
Term 4 – Chemical Sciences
