They had great fun dissecting flowering plants to see how they are pollinated and learnt what they need to grow. When studying animal classification in our Science lessons, they learnt about the features and characteristics of creatures that live on and by the river bank; they produced some amazing art work!
Do you know otters are mammals and carnivores? WILLIAM

Our book this term was 'The Wind in the Willows', and this inspired our creative writing - we even pretended to be an estate agent and write an advert to help sell Mr Badger’s home. The Year 2s enjoyed making simple electrical circuits to light a bulb for Toad Hall and make a buzzer buzz for an alarm for Toad.
Look at some of our fantastic work we have produced this term! Electric Circuits - Alex & Rose

We loved making our circuit with wires and buzzers.
At first it didn’t work and then we tried again and it worked!
