Geography
Darwin’s Finches
Darwin is most famous for his ‘Theory of Evolution’ and how natural selection and evolution was evident during his studies of the finches of the Galapagos Islands. We looked at how we could study the differences between the beaks of each finch and how this has helped them to adapt and survive. We have already toured the islands on Google Streetview and know how the conditions differ on each island. This helped us to understand Read more

Wishing you all an egg-cellent Easter!

We looked at how we could effectively mix colours, use different shades of the same colour, and use light and dark shades to create depth in our paintings. The results made for excellent viewing and gave us a sense of what Darwin Read more
Music
More fun with sound: We completed a science experiment to see how the amount of water in a glass container effects the sound. We also went out in the lovely sunshine to experiment using a string telephone.
