Specialist Science with Leanne 2017

Welcome To The Unknown Be Brave. Are You

Ready?
In our Specialist Science lessons this year I hope you will feel safe to learn.
You will sometimes work on your own but usually in pairs or groups. It does
not matter who is in your group because in our school, we pursue our
personal best no matter who we work with.
Bring your courage to every lesson and be ready to ask questions,
investigate, make predictions, observe, record (write and draw)
communicate and share.
You may find Science learning easy or hard, boring or interesting but if you
give it your best shot I hope it will help you understand the world better and
maybe we'll have some fun along the way.
