Science at Luston and Shobdon

Science Leads: Kim Kilby & Sally Clarke

Science excites pupils’ curiosity about the world around them as well as giving them the opportunities to develop a deeper understanding and increase their knowledge. At Luston and Shobdon, we promote the development of enquiry, exploration and observation within a meaningful context. Working independently and in groups the children are encouraged to ask questions and investigate why things happen. Children develop an understanding of the way science contributes to today’s world and how it can impact on their future and of science in practical contexts related future career choices.

Our world can be a bewildering place, especially if you’ve only just got here. Your head will be filled with questions, so let’s explore what makes our planet and how we live on it. From land and sky, to people and time, these notes can be your guide and start you on your journey. And you’ll figure lots of things out for yourself. Just remember to leave notes for everyone else… Some things about our planet are pretty complicated, but things can be simple, too: you’ve just got to be kind.
