There was a lot of excitement in Year 5/6 today. The children enjoyed a carousel of ‘classroom curiosities’, where they explored a range of artefacts - animals, skulls, skeletons, fossils and marine specimens - and sketched them in their Darwin sketchbooks. A special thank you to Donna, who brought in her python to share with the children, Mrs Leggatt, who loaned some artefacts, and Kay from Screech Owl, who gave us so much information linked to our topic about how animals have adapted and evolved over time. We were also lucky enough to have borrowed specimens from others in the community, which we are very grateful for.

What a wonderful morning!
