Philosophy
Welcome to Churchfields Infants' School Philosophy page
My name is Mrs Hodgkinson and I am the Philosophy Champion at Churchfields Infants' School.
We are proud to hold the Silver SAPERE award for Philosophy for Children (P4C) which, alongside our Values Based Education, plays a huge part in our broad and balanced curriculum.
By the time our children leave Churchfields Infants’ School, they will have developed their philosophical thinking by exploring the 4 Cs.
This means:
We're critical thinkers when we...
- Ask 'big idea' questions
- Test our ideas
- Give good reasons
- Look for evidence
- Suggest conclusions
We're creative thinkers when we...
- Make connections
- Think of new ideas
- Explore possibilities
- Compare things
- Suggest alternatives
We're collaborative thinkers when we...
- Speak to each other
- Build on ideas
- Are friendly and helpful
- Share our experiences
- Work together
We're caring thinkers when we...
- Think about what's said
- Listen to others carefully
- Imagine how others feel
- Don't interrupt
- Wait for our turn
