On Friday 6th June, Year 2 went on a science themed trip to Lee Valley. They had been learning all about habitats in their science lessons. They began the day learning about different classification of living things. The focus for this was on mini-beasts as this is what they would be looking for. Did you know slugs and snails don’t have a skeleton, but they do have one foot!
They spoke about how to keep themselves safe when bug hunting and then they went outside to play the ‘game of life’. This helped them to learn more about what habitats provide the things living in it to help them survive.
They searched for mini-beasts in the following locations:
- Trees
- Walls
- Path
- Short grass
- Long grass
- Under logs
After lunch the children explored the rivers. They used special nets to discover what living things were in the water. The children found water bugs, slugs and one group even caught some baby fish!
