We were all very sad to have had our trip cancelled at such short notice, however the children have enjoyed exploring nature in the grounds of our school today just as much! Our new science topic of Living things and Their Habitats got off to a flying start this afternoon when the children headed out, armed with clipboards and pencils to log in the form of a tally chart some of the creatures they found. We had so much fun in the mud and trees finding worms, snails, a woodlouse and even (apparently…) a golden ant! Children were all able to record their findings and generate lots of questions and answers when we got back to class. Here are some photos of our mini adventure

The children have been enjoying our Maths this week learning all about the properties of different 2D shapes, drawing their own shapes and finding lines of symmetry. They’ve been enjoying looking for the many 2D shapes they can see in the classroom and out on the yard too! Today the children have done a fantastic job of using folding techniques, mirrors and measuring to find lines of symmetry in lots of different shapes. Well done Year 2.
