Shrewsbury trip to the museum

We end our busy term with a trip to Shrewsbury museum and a visit to the birth place of Charles Darwin. In the first half of the term we learnt all about Charles Darwin and his voyage to the Galapagos Islands. After finding out all about him, we had to visit where he was born and grew up to find out more! 
When we arrived at the museum, we found out all about Charles as a child and about his family, then we were just like Charles, and went on a hunt for shells, fossils, beetles and bugs. Once we had found them all, we sorted them into different categories, just like Charles had done on his adventures. We then studied different artefacts and drew them using a quill and ink - just like Charles would have done!
When we arrived at Charles Darwin's birth place, we discovered a large oak tree in the garden which Charles Darwin's father planted. We then went into the dining room and explored upstairs and saw his nursery and room in which he was born. We felt so lucky to be able to visit!
