Y6 visited the Natural History Museum. The purpose of this visit was to consolidate their learning in class about Evolution. They attended a workshop; Exploring Evolution designed especially for Year 6. Pupils learnt what evolution is by getting hands-on with sensory objects and specimens to explore how horses have evolved over time and then encouraged to use critical thinking skills to consider how animals in the UK will evolve in the future.

Y6 pupils were thrilled to see a Physalia Physalis or a Portuguese man o’ war, at The Natural History Museum. The Physalia Physalis is often called a jellyfish, but is actually a species of siphonophore, a group of animals that are closely related to jellyfish.

Y6 are looking forward to sharing more about their visit when they lead assembly next week both to the junior site and to their parents!
