Science Week

Last week we had a fun science week learning about  plants and animals in their local habitats. At the beginning of the week we looked at what all living thjngs need in order to survive and went on a treasure hunt to find objects that were 'living', 'not living' and 'once living'.  While doing this we also talked about the differences and similarities between plants and animals.  We enjoyed going on a mini beast hunt and looking at what the forest area provides for these creatures. We learnt new vocabulary such as, 'consumer', 'producer', 'herbivore', 'carnivore' and 'omnivore' as we found out about food chains.

Fun at the Farm

Year 2 had yet another great day at the farm learning about the plants and crops that grow there.  We also did pond-dipping and found lots of little organisms that live in the pond.
