On Wednesday 22nd January, the Swans class visited Colchester Zoo. As well as having plenty of opportunities to look at all the different animals, the children took part in a workshop about Charles Darwin. They learnt about the life and work of Darwin. They were given field journals and had to identify bugs and their habitats. We also looked at how the beaks of different birds had evolved based on what they eat. We got to examine some specimens of birds and classify them based on their beaks. It was a really enjoyable day out and the children’s behaviour and enthusiasm were excellent.
