The diversity of children and their families in our schools provide us with a depth of knowledge, experiences and skills that can be drawn upon by all.
The context of science provides a valuable opportunity to use childrens own experiences of the world around them to enrich the curriculum and maximise their learning.
For example - a Somali child may have first hand knowledge of plants and animals in an environment which could be highly relevent to a unit of work on habitat.
Its essential that schools find out about the children whom arrive into their school and build on their knowledge, skills and experiences.
