Science: Jane Goodall

Friday 10 October 2025

Yesterday, Year 3 watched this Newsround clip about Jane Goodall.

Jane Goodall is our featured scientist for our current biology topic: skeletons, movement and nutrition.

Sadly, Jane Goodall recently passed away. Year 3 had a discussion about her life and her achievements as a female scientist. She made amazing discoveries while she studies chimpanzees in the wild.

She links to our learning because we are studying animals including humans. We’ve classified and compared skeletons and we’ll be doing the same with animals diets too.

Help at home by researching more about Jane Goodall with your child. Here’s a useful link to get you started: https://www.natgeokids.com/uk/discover/animals/general-animals/jane-goodall-interview/
