It's no secret that primary science has suffered in recent years, and is often seen as secondary to English and maths. Whilst the reasons for this decline might be varied and complex, there's no doubt that Kirsty Simkin's work should be seen as part of the solution. Kirsty has produced an accessible yet scholarly review of the major issues facing primary science, and by covering a vast range of concepts has given current and aspiring primary leaders plentiful tools to deploy in their schools. We know that primary children love science and studying the world around them, and there is no doubt that Kirsty's book will help primary teachers across the country grow that love and enthusiasm, and harness it to guide students to greater knowledge and understanding.
