As part of British Science Week, our school has been celebrating the theme of Curiosity by exploring how questions, wonder and imagination sit at the very heart of science.
This year, each class has chosen a storybook to inspire their scientific learning. Using high‑quality books as a starting point, children have been encouraged to ask questions, make predictions, investigate and discover more about the world around them. By linking science with stories, pupils have been able to see that curiosity is not just about finding answers, but about wondering why and how things happen.
Across the school, classrooms have been buzzing with exploration. Children have been observing, testing, discussing their ideas and reflecting on what they have learned. These activities have helped pupils to develop key scientific skills such as observing closely, thinking critically and explaining their observations using appropriate language.
British Science Week has been a wonderful opportunity to show that science is everywhere — in books, in play, and in everyday life — and that curiosity is something we can all nurture. We are proud of the enthusiasm, creativity and thoughtful questions our children have shown throughout the week.
