Wolsey Hall is a registered online Cambridge International School.
We offer a wide range of courses at Upper Primary level.
The benefits of studying Upper Primary Science
Our Upper Primary Science homeschooling course encourages children to ask scientific questions and begin to appreciate the way in which science will affect the future on a personal, national, and global level. They will learn to ask and answer scientific questions, plan and carry out scientific investigations/ experiments, and learn how to use equipment correctly.
Science teaches an understanding of the natural world through Biology, Chemistry and Physics. It aims to stimulate a child’s curiosity in finding out why things happen in the way they do. It teaches methods of enquiry and investigation to stimulate creative thought.
The Primary Science homeschooling courses are designed to cover all of the requirements of the UK National Curriculum over the course of 6 years.
For more details of the curriculum see a summary of the areas of study here: Years 3 & 4 / Years 5 & 6.
Equipment lists: Year 3 | Year 4 | Year 5 | Year 6
Once completed, our Upper Primary Science course lays the foundations for children to transition smoothly to our Secondary Science course.
