• Chunking lesson

• Dual coding

• Strategies for remembering

• Sequential graphics

We also have the following subject specific pedagogies for Science:

• All teachers in all classes will model practical tasks giving clear demonstrations to children on how to use the equipment and the expectations for the practical task

• The children will participate in hands on practical work where it is appropriate. At times it will be more appropriate for teachers to do a whole class model

• Children will be given opportunities to rehearse oral justifications and explanations for predictions and evaluations using appropriate scientific vocabulary

• All units will end with a TAPs (Teacher Assessment in Primary Science) to support with assessment

• All teachers will make appropriate adaptations for SEN and priority 20% children (writing frames, visual aids, word banks etc)

• Regular representation of the subject within ‘Low Stakes Friday Curriculum Quiz’ to reinforce knowledge, skills and understanding and aid cognitive load. Teachers guided by subject lead’s key questioning document.
