Learn based on Inquiry

Inquiry-based learning is a student-centred learning method based on John Dewey’s constructivism learning philosophy. At Henry Park Primary School, we use the following approach to scientific learning: 

• Constructivist method to concept development – pupils build concepts through hands-on activities as they make connections with their surroundings.
• Inquiry-based activities in and out of the classroom engage our students in problem-solving, decision-making, and investigative processes. Authentic outdoor learning, use of ICT, and self-direct collaborative learning activities provide an opportunity to apply concepts in various circumstances.
• Our Learning Framework connects with the skills and attitudes we seek to foster via our Science programme. The Science curriculum also includes developing ingenuity and talent, allowing our pupils to demonstrate their abilities.
