This week in Year 2 we have been continuing to explore the book by Anthony Browne in English, this time we have been looking at the book Gorilla. The children created a lovely piece of writing inspired by the story by choosing their own animal to go on an amazing adventure with. In maths we have been reviewing Time and pushing our understanding further by looking at quarter past, quarter to and 5 minute intervals. In science we have been continuing our topic of Habitats and looking at animals that live underground and underwater. In history we have been exploring what Victorians do for fun and creating our own optical illusions. Finally, in D+T we have been designing and creating our own hand puppet based on the animal using our sewing skills.

This week Year 2 have enjoyed looking at minibeasts and micro habitats! We discussed what minibeasts we might find around the school then went for a nature walk around the field to see what we could find. We had lots of fun looking under logs for woodlice, millipedes and even spiders!
