Science

The science program at Mount Helena Primary School is taught by Ms Watson. Ms Watson teaches Science to Year 1-6 students using Primary Connections as the tool for the delivery of science content specific to each year level, in alignment with the WA Curriculum. 

Ms Watson delivers a‘hands on’ experiential based learning program. She moderates the teaching and learning program to meet the needs of each student. Students gain team skills, assume dedicated roles, formulate and test theories and work collaboratively to steer their group to a successful outcome. The students work with the teacher to record key findings, where appropriate recording methods are modelled. Students then record the information in their science learning journals and evaluate their findings. Ms Watson then completes the Reporting to Parents process for Science each semester for all studnets and moderates the judgements against the School Curriculumand Standards Authority’s Science Achievement Standards.
