Devon school children achieve science project first

A group of school children from Devon have had their science project accepted for publication by an internationally-renowned scientific journal.

The children from Blackawton School managed to get a study into bumblebees featured in Biology Letters - the first time a school science project has been featured in a Royal Society journal.

With help from neuroscientist from University College London Dr Beau Lotto, the children found that bumblebees can be trained to recognise colour patterns.

The Royal Society praised the work of the children and their teacher, calling the findings "a genuine advance" in the field.

Educators looking for teaching jobs in certain areas may be interested to hear that earlier this month, secretary of state for education Michael Gove pledged to protect local authorities with falling numbers of pupils by ensuring "that no authority will lose more than two per cent of its budget in cash terms compared with 2010-11".
