Talk Time
This week’s Talk Time relates to our Science learning. Each class has been finding out about one or two scientists as part of their Science lessons.
I can show off my knowledge of different scientists.
Year 1: John Dunlop
Year 2: Florence Nightingale / Charles McIntosh
Year 3: Marie Curie
Year 4: Jane Goodall
Year 5,6: Carl Linnaeus, Sarah Fowler / Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla
Have a chat with someone at home about the scientist that you have been learning about in your Science sessions. There’s a short text about one of the scientists that you could read with your child.
Here are some things that you could discuss:
- what they did
- how they worked like a scientist
- why their work was important
- whether their work has an impact on life today
Challenge: Do you know of any other scientists? Can you talk about their work and say how it has impacted life today?
