Encourage children to see themselves as confident readers and writers, engaging with diverse texts for both knowledge and enjoyment, while expressing their ideas clearly and creatively for different audiences and purposes.
Children are taught to think critically and work mathematically by encouraging discussion, questioning ideas, and validating solutions with evidence. The approach gives children a deeper understanding of mathematics in the real world.
Students will develop scientific thinking and practical skills, deepening their understanding of the world while building confidence that science is relevant to them. This foundation equips them with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in the later stages of their education.
