Spring Term
Tadpoles!
In science Year 2 have been learning all about the life cycle of a frog. We went out to the pond to catch some tadpoles to keep in our class. We watched them grow before releasing them back into the pond where they will turn into frogs!
Chester Zoo
Today the whole school went on an exciting trip to Chester Zoo. We travelled on the coach and walked around to look at all the animals. We saw elephants, lions, monkeys and so many more! We stopped for a picnic lunch and did lots of walking around the zoo before travelling back to school. We had a brilliant day despite the rain!
Precious Objects
In RE, the children have been learning about precious objects in Judaism. The children were given the opportunity to bring in their own precious object and explain to the class why their chosen object is precious to them. The children enjoyed this show and tell activity!
