Welcome to Science Week 2025
Get ready for an exciting Science Week filled with discovery, creativity, and hands-on learning! This year, our theme is “How Things Change”, exploring how the world around us transforms—from tiny caterpillars turning into butterflies to the way weather shapes our planet.
Each year group will take part in fascinating investigations, STEM challenges, and real-world problem-solving activities, from creating wormeries to studying how plants adapt to extreme environments. We will also celebrate STEM heroes, learning about inspiring scientists, engineers, and inventors who have shaped the world with their discoveries.
But Science Week isn’t just for pupils—parents and staff can get involved too! Can you design the perfect cup of tea? What’s the science behind it? Let’s put our investigative skills to the test!
Throughout the week, we encourage curiosity, questioning, and hands-on exploration. Whether you’re designing an eco-friendly cleaning product, investigating food preservation, or creating a Mars-adapted creature, Science Week is all about experimenting, observing, and thinking like a scientist.
Get ready to explore, investigate, and be amazed! Let the science fun begin! 🚀🔬✨
INTENT
At MAHPS, we have carefully designed our Science Curriculum to ignite curiosity and foster a profound understanding of the natural world. Recently reviewed and refined using the latest Ofsted Research Review for Science 2022, our curriculum sets out clear knowledge and skill objectives at each stage of learning, with well-defined endpoints to guide pupils’ progress. We use SNAP Science and PLAN assessment schemes to support our planning, ensuring that our curriculum is both ambitious and inclusive, meeting the needs of all our pupils. Our carefully sequenced curriculum allows children to build on their knowledge and enquiry skills progressively, preparing them to engage confidently and thoughtfully with scientific concepts.
The curriculum has been built using the following components:
Please see below our curriculum overviews. This includes all the core knowledge and skills your children will be taught along each stage of their scientific journey.
