Year 2 Science
The National Curriculum Year 2 Science objectives are covered by Hamilton's science scheme, with investigations, working scientifically, and meaningful outcomes embedded in every Block.
We are sorry but we are no longer able to provide all Science Blocks free of charge. The first block suggested for each term remains free but others are now only available to Friends of Hamilton or to teachers in schools who subscribe.
