"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence therefore is not an act but a habit." Aristotle (Greek philosopher and polymath)
Welcome to Year 6
Welcome to Term 5! We hope that you had an enjoyable break and are ready for the start of a new term. Our enquiry question for Term 5 is ‘Linnaeus and Darwin: what connects them?’. To explore this question, the children are going to be historians, artists and scientists. The term will culminate with the children answering the enquiry question through designing an adaptation that might occur in an animal to survive a changing habitat, and presenting their idea to peers.
