In Science this week, we learnt about Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. We learnt that Darwin had studied finches on the Galápagos Islands and noticed that each island had a different type of finch that had evolved depending on which food was available! We conducted an investigation to explore how each finch would have evolved their beaks to eat the seeds and nuts available on their islands! Y6 worked really hard in this lesson so well done!
