Science

At Grange, we seek to encourage the children to explore the world around them.

Science is therefore taught through a variety of themes or topics (fire, origins, survival, and our planet).

Through investigative and illustrative problem solving activities, the children are able to develop and refine their ideas about the world, and devise ways of finding things out for themselves. They are also taught to become proficient in using equipment and information.

The children are encouraged to take care of their environment, to explore its riches and properties. Our Environmental Science Area, located in our quadrangle, provides one of the means through which this objective may be met. Equipped with pond, rockery, waterfall, fossil area, weather station and butterfly garden etc, it is a rich resource area where children can come to grips with nature. This aspect of the children’s learning is also enhanced by visits to ‘The Earth Project’ which is part of the local ecology park.

The children share in the care of our fishes in the large aquarium in the main school entrance foyer, as well as the flora and fauna in the quadrangle (frogs, newts, tadpoles, fish, flowers, plants, insects etc).
