Year 6 trip to Natural History Museum

Year 6 went to the Natural History Museum. There they saw fossils, skulls and skeletons found by paleontologists, used as evidence that evolution has happened over thousands of years. The children were very interested to observe the similarities between humans and primates. They also saw how Charles Darwin’s legacy lives on in current research, in the Darwin centre.
