We are currently well into our theme, Darwin’s Discoveries, learning all about Charles Darwin’s voyages around the world on the HMS Beagle, where he developed his now famous theories about evolution and natural selection. Excitingly, we have discovered an explorer called Kitt Wilder, who sees himself as a modern-day Darwin and is currently trying to recreate the great man’s journey by sailing single-handedly on the same route the Beagle followed. We have been avidly following his journey and reading the blogs which he regularly posts. This has inspired us to create our own blogs posting about all things Charles Darwin! The children have loved creating their very own hybrid animals, incorporating all the new scientific and geographical knowledge along the way. We have recently moved onto discussing the current climate crisis in more detail- which the children are finding very interesting. We think we may have some mini-activists in the making! We are very much looking forward to our up-coming trip to Westonbirt Arboretum and will be sure to update with some photos.
