--- title: "Science" url: "https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/our-school/curriculum/science" school: "St. Bartholomew’s C of E Primary School" --- # Science ![](https://st-bartholomews.leeds.sch.uk/images/Slide39.JPG) **Here at St Bart's we are proud of science in our school - we hold a national award PSQM (Primary Science Quality Mark) at GILT level. This means that science is embedded in everything we do.** Throughout school we ensure hands on learning through the five enquiry types where scientific skills are developed and built on from Nursery all the way to Year 6. We aim to take learning outdoors as much as possible. Children learn about different science roles available in the world around them and how it fits in to their everyday lives. We love having visitors in to talk about their jobs in science and encourage all of the children to see themselves as mini scientists. In our science club the children are in charge of developing and maintaining our brand-new wildlife site. We can't wait to see what they do with it! ### Curriculum - Science - Key Documents Science Overview 793 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/files/documents/curriculum/Science-Overview-June-2024.pdf) Science Policy 270 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/files/documents/curriculum/Science-Policy.pdf) --- ### Curriculum - Science - Useful Links [Explorify](https://explorify.wellcome.ac.uk/) [PSTT (Primary Science Teaching Trust)](https://pstt.org.uk/resources/curriculum-materials/Science-Fun-at-Home) --- ### Curriculum - Science - Animal Classification [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-animal-classification/Slide44.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-animal-classification/Slide44.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-animal-classification/Slide45.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-animal-classification/Slide45.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-animal-classification/Slide46.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-animal-classification/Slide46.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-animal-classification/Slide47.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-animal-classification/Slide47.JPG) This week, we started our new topic on classification.

During their presentations, the children confidently explained how the circulatory system works, describing how the heart pumps blood around the body and delivers oxygen and nutrients to our organs and muscles. They demonstrated excellent scientific knowledge and used key vocabulary accurately, showing a strong understanding of this important body system. Well done, Class 13, for your hard work and enthusiastic presentations. ### Curriculum - Science - The Circulatory System Presentations [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system-presentations/Slide3.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system-presentations/Slide3.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system-presentations/Slide4.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system-presentations/Slide4.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system-presentations/Slide5.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system-presentations/Slide5.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system-presentations/Slide6.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system-presentations/Slide6.JPG) This week, we worked in groups and presented the circulatory system to the class. We explained how it works, and then assessed each group based on our physical and linguistic oracy strand. ### Curriculum - Science - The Circulatory System Model [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system-model/Slide51.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system-model/Slide51.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system-model/Slide52.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system-model/Slide52.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system-model/Slide53.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system-model/Slide53.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system-model/Slide54.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system-model/Slide54.JPG) Class 13 have continued their studies of the circulatory system and created a model to demonstrate how it works. They used zip-lock bags to represent the lungs and coloured string to show the flow of blood around the body. Red string was used to represent oxygenated blood, while blue string represented deoxygenated blood, helping the children to visualise how blood travels through the circulatory system. The class worked hard to bring their learning to life and develop a deeper understanding of this important body system. Next week, they will be labelling their models and identifying the different parts and their functions. ### Curriculum - Science - Cannon Hall Farm Trip [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide39.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide39.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide40.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide40.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide41.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide41.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide42.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide42.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide43.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide43.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide44.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide44.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide45.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide45.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide46.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide46.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide47.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide47.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide48.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide48.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide49.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide49.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide50.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-cannon-hall-farm-trip/Slide50.JPG) Class 13 had a fantastic day on our trip to Cannon Hall Farm. One of the highlights was watching the sheep race, where the blue sheep raced to victory! We also visited the meerkats and had great fun pretending to be meerkats ourselves in the tunnel play area.Throughout the day, we explored the Small Mammal House, where we saw a variety of fascinating nocturnal animals. We then visited the Reptile House and discovered a range of reptiles, including snakes, lizards, turtles and tortoises. Above our heads, we were amazed to see a trail of leaf-cutter ants busily carrying pieces of leaves back to their colony.To finish our wonderful day, we enjoyed a delicious ice cream and spent time playing in the large adventure play area. It was a memorable trip, filled with fun, learning and lots of exciting animal encounters! ### Curriculum - Science - The Circulatory System [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system/Slide33.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system/Slide33.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system/Slide34.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system/Slide34.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system/Slide35.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-the-circulatory-system/Slide35.JPG) This week, we made our own versions of the circulatory system, showing where the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood travels to reach our lungs, and the rest of our body. ### Curriculum - Science - Dissecting Hearts [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide27.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide27.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide28.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide28.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide29.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide29.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide30.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide30.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide31.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide31.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide32.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide32.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide36.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide36.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide37.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide37.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide38.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/st-bartholomew-s-cofe-primary-school/images/gallery/curriculum-science-dissecting-hearts/Slide38.JPG) This week, as part of our circulatory system topic, we dissected a lambs heart.
