The children have had a busy day in forest school today and it has been amazing to see them working as a team and following the safety rules.
They have been learning all about micro habitats, how to identify a number of plants and trees and create an ideal habitat for a hedgehog 🦔.
They learnt how to light a fire to toast their marshmallows and were all very sensible in keeping each other safe.

Y2 Science, by Mrs Harrison

A very practical end to our Materials topic today! We investigated an unusual material - magic snow! It demonstrated absorbency in action. We then investigated which other materials are absorbent.
Our challenge today was to design and make a new nappy. We took apart a nappy to see what was involved before designing our own using materials tested in previous lessons. Great learning on absorbency, waterproofing and strength! Wonderful cooperation in Year 2.
Forest School, by Miss Jones

What a fabulous day at Forest school. We built troll houses in our troll families for Timothy Limpet and Tabitha Lumpet. We then made our own trolls out of clay. The children worked incredibly in their teams and were so proud of what they achieved… so were we! This afternoon we went on a mini beast hunt and collected them for our micro habitat. Everyone enjoyed toasting marshmallows after some dragon sneeze practice! Well done Year 2… it has been a pleasure to watch your enthusiasm and creativity today, you’ve made me feel very proud!
