Autumn 1 - Year 2
In Science this half-term, Year 2 have been learning all about materials and their properties. We have sorted materials according to their properties and explored the suitability of materials for different purposes. We combined this with our learning of waterproof materials in design and technology, to create a sustainable bug hotel, full of natural materials.
Autumn 2 - Year 1
The children spent the thinking about wildlife in the local area and how they are impacted as the seasons change. The children researched the eating habits and needs of resident birds learning that during the cold seasons they struggle to find enough food. They then made some nutrient filled bird feeders to provide the fat and seeds to cater for our feathered friends.
