Year 4 took their learning beyond the Science Lab recently as they explored the fascinating world of scientific classification.
Heading outdoors, pupils examined a variety of items from the natural world and worked collaboratively to decide how they could be grouped and classified.
Through... observation, discussion and teamwork, they developed their understanding of how scientists organise and identify living things.
A fantastic example of hands-on learning, encouraging curiosity, critical thinking and collaboration to unlock individual potential.
