So as dawn broke this morning, the World woke up to the news that Professor Stephen Hawking, a world renowned scientist, had died.
During our circle this morning, we looked at exactly who this man was and why his death is such a loss.
We watched a short animation about his 'Big Ideas' and learnt a lot along the way- click his image below for the link to take you there to watch it yourself.
When we had finished, we talked about how, whilst some people may not agree with his theories because of how they clash with their religious beliefs for example- Creation Story vs. The Big Bang and evolution- that we could learn a lot from his outlook on life...
Some of the words used to describe him and his achievements by the children in our class included: determined, inspiring, incredible.
Below is the link to a video of his most inspiring speeches- I'm sure you'll agree we can all take something away from it...
Leave us a comment with your thoughts.

He was a great scientist and we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. He will be remembered by all. R.I.P STEVE HAWKING
