Very nice, but confused about Isaac Newton’s birthday. He was born on Christmas Day, but in the Julian calendar. Perhaps include it twice and link to a resource about the necessary changes to our calendars? And if you don’t have a resource for that, let me know… :-)

You are quite right - an excellent spot! We decided to use the Gregorian calendar date as this is more widely used, but we're sure teachers and students would be interested in learning more about the change to calendars, so please get it touch if you have a resource to share!

Here's another resource about Isaac Newton, with both birth dates! https://www.teachit.co.uk/resources/science/isaac-newton
