English

This term we shall be discovering the world through the eyes of the famous explorer and scientist Charles Darwin- well in fact his assistant Syms Covington. We shall be using the incredible book Darwin's Dragons to write diary entries from the point of view of Syms and his discovery of an entirely new species (one that we'll designing ourselves!)

"Syms Covington has landed the job of a lifetime - cabin boy and fiddler on Charles Darwin's Beagle - but when he is separated from the crew during a storm, his life takes a truly extraordinary turn.

Shipwrecked on a Galapagos island, he makes a discovery that could change the world - and make his fortune. But should he share his find, or will it lead to the extinction of a legendary species?

There's one person who could help, but he's busy writing a book... "
