Animals and their Habitats

In Science, Year Two have been learning all about animals and their habitats.

To begin the children found out how they know something is alive. For example, it can breathe and it can grow. Then, they sorted pictures to show which were living, dead or never alive.  The boys and girls were intrigued to learn that leaves on a tree are living but as soon as they fall, they are dead.

Next, Year Two learned that a habitat is where an animal or plant lives. They sorted animals into four habitats - polar, desert, rainforest and ocean.

They explored how animals are adapted to survive in a particular habitat. For example, a polar bear has wide feet to stop it from sinking into the snow whereas a camel has wide feet to help it walk on sand.
