Science
Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that’s precise, predictive and reliable – a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional - Brian Greene
The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, it's the one who asks the right questions - Claude Levi-Strauss
Science is magic that works - Kurt Vonnegut
The important thing is to never stop questioning (or learning) - Albert Einstein
As Scientists at Shipton Bellinger, we strive to provide the opportunity for creative, practical experiences that allow children to apply their knowledge, skills and understanding. With a greater emphasis on STEM, we can ensure that children are finding exciting ways to explore their thoughts and ideas. With a clear learning journey throughout a pupils life at Shipton, they will be able to nurture the six key skills that are imperative to any budding scientist. Such as; asking questions, making predictions, setting up tests, observing and measuring, recording data and evaluating.
Within our carefully correlated science curriculum, we have ensured to embed our school values. We intend to ensure that all pupils at Shipton Bellinger engage with the science curriculum by discovering our diverse world through exploring the natural world around them through first-hand practical experiences in EYFS, observing phenomena in KS1 and thus gaining a deeper understanding of how things work in KS2.
While working scientifically, pupils will naturally become familiar with our local environments through opportunities to investigate the world around them and develop their own observational studies.
As we develop our curriculum, we are now working towards including more established scientists to coincide with all of our taught units in order to provide a rich collection of aspirational figures to further intrigue our pupils to learn more about influencial scientists.
