Year 2 celebrated Science Week by exploring a variety of habitats. As this year’s theme focused on curiosity, the children began by asking thoughtful questions about the world around them.
Each child was assigned an animal and used their curiosity to investigate its features and the habitat in which it lives. They created questions about how their animal survives and what makes it suited to its environment. The children then carried out research and discovered many fascinating facts, particularly about how animals adapt to their habitats.
Throughout the week, we discussed important ideas such as suitability, adaptation, and survival of the fittest. The children confidently presented their findings to the class, teaching one another about the amazing ways different animals live and thrive in their environments.
However, curiosity does not stop here! We encourage you to keep the questions going at home. Ask your children about the world around them: Why are the trees blossoming? Why are the days getting warmer and lighter? Curiosity is the first step to discovering something new.
