Science at Parkhill Infants' School 
Play is the highest form of research. - Albert Einstein
We look at science as something very elite, which only a few people can learn. That's just not true.
- Mae Jemison

We want to encourage our children to
be BRAVE
be BOLD

Dr Donald Palmer
Dr Donald Palmer visited the school to talk to the children about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Dr Palmer is an associate professor of immunology who has worked with Cancer Research UK and is an honorary Senior Lecturer at Imperial College, London.
The children were full of questions for him and really enjoyed meeting a "real scientist"!
When Dr Palmer came I was really excited because I never knew he was a scientist. He gave me the inspiration to ask questions in science and always explore. - Sabah, Year 2
Dr Palmer inspired me by telling me something, he said "it's never too early to become a scientist" so I want to start to be a scientist right now.
