Year 5 trip to The Natural History Museum

/in /by

The Year 5 children went to the David Attenborough studio at The Natural History Museum and took part in a workshop that looked at classifying organisms. All living organisms are  classified into groups based on very basic, shared characteristics. Organisms within each group are then further divided into smaller groups. The children looked at clues and classified different organisms into groups. It was a great day for the children to demonstrate their knowledge.
