This week, Elephants and Giraffes visited Shrewsbury Museum to take part in an workshop about evolution, inheritance and adaptations. The workshop is part of their new science topic, where the children are learning about how living things have changed over time, understanding fossils and how plants and animals adapt to their environment.
Year 6 enjoyed looking at a range of fossils and identifying which types they were from their characteristics. The children also learnt about how Shropshire has changed over time and discussed the work of Charles Darwin. Finally, year 6 learnt about how humans have evolved and how bodies have changed.
The children thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and really impressed the facilitator, Ali, with their fossil knowledge!
