In Science, the children in Year 6 have been learning about ‘Evolution and Inheritance’ in their Science work. To begin their learning, the children looked at characteristics that can be inherited from a parent and those that are acquired. There was lots of debate had about this! The children then learnt about how plants and animals have adapted to suit their environment. Following this, the children moved on to learning about how adaptation leads to evolution. They researched the theories of Charles Darwin and produced some wonderful fact files related to his discoveries. This week the children have created reports to explain the theory of evolution and the terms adaptation, evolution and natural selection.
