TIE Show to stimulate interest in the national science curriculum 1

Children are curious – Why do birds sing, what makes a rainbow, why don’t fish drown in the sea, and why do dogs sniff each other’s bottoms? Curiosity drives the desire to understand, and science attempts to fulfill this desire.

William B Curious sets out to look for the source of sound, the poetry  of learning, and the Rainbow at the End of the Science Curriculum.

Footprints in the Sky is the result of a year long project funded by Arts Council England to produce a comic performance for primary age schoolchildren, that stimulates curiosity, and awakens interest in science.

 

THE SHOW

A flying walking stick, a honking cushion, a crazy kazoo, and a magic hat, accompany our hero on an adventure into absurdity as he attempts to unravel the mystery of the Book of Questions on an improbable but hilarious romp to discover the delightful comedy to be found in the National Science Curriculum KS 1&2 (mainly KS 1).

 Magic, theatre, poetry and clowning become fused into a performance that takes the audience from curiosity, through laughter, to understanding.

"The children were utterly engaged in the performance and brilliantly entertained. As a teacher of twenty years I thought it was phenomenal - certainly one of the best things we have ever had in the school. It concluded our science week superbly, highlighting what science is all about - asking questions! Pitched perfectly - you understand what children need.                         CG - Science Coordinator
