Science

Born To Be Inquisitive

Children are naturally inquisitive, and I believe that through science they can build on, challenge and foster their curiosity. My many years of teaching has shown me that there is no better way of doing this than with a" hands on approach."

It is vital that science is exciting, that it ignites interest and curiosity. In order to instil a passion for science we must nurture this curiosity through observing, predicting, measuring, inferring, questioning and classifying. Children need to feel that science is fun!
