As part of this year's Griffin Science Symposium, children across the school produced poetry celebrating all things scientific. In Year 5, children chose a scientist to research, explored free verse poetry and created odes to their most inspiring scientist.
Marie Curie, Queen of Chemistry
Nothing in life is to be feared
It is only to be understood
Now is the time
To understand more
So that we may fear less.
The older one gets
The more one feels
That the present moment
Must be enjoyed
Comparable to a state of grace.
Was it done with radium
Or with mesothorium?
Only a few people know.
Only true followers know.
Marie Curie followers.
Her brain was an ocean.
Flowing with ideas.
Hypatia
There was a girl in ancient Greece
With her head in the clouds
And feet on the ground
She looked up at the starry sky
With her head in the clouds
And feet on the ground
And wished upon a star that night
With her head in the clouds
And feet on the ground
And that girl from ancient Greece
With her head in the clouds and
Feet on the ground
Was accused of being a witch!
Linnaeus
Linnaeus in Rashult, Sweeden
By his desk
Raindrops echo
Searching for discovery
