Year 6 Look at the Life and Work of Carl Linnaeus 26th September 2025 Science This week, Year 6 pupils have been learning about Carl Linnaeus, the Swedish botanist known as the “Father of Modern Taxonomy.” Linnaeus developed the Linnaean System for classifying living things and introduced the binomial nomenclature — the two-part naming system for organisms that we still use today. The children researched his life and achievements before presenting their findings to the rest of the class. It was a fantastic opportunity to develop their scientific knowledge and presentation skills. Well done, Year 6!
