At Larkspur our science vision is to excite and stimulate curiosity in the minds of our young pupils through practical and engaging opportunities.  The enquiry based, informative and hands on learning we provide sparks discussion and fuels imagination, whilst developing knowledge and vocabulary.  Our children will acquire a back of core skills which will equip them for their future education and beyond. 

At Larkspur we try to incorporate the 5 lines of inquiry in the teaching of science.

The 5 types of inquiry are:

  • Observation over time.
  • Pattern seeking.
  • Identifying, classifying and grouping.
  • Comparative and fair testing.
  • Research using secondary sources.
