Year 2 are currently completing their 'Plants' topic. They will be investigating exactly what a seed needs in order to grow into a healthy plant. Come back soon to see how our plants have grown in different environments.
To link in with our global theme for Spring 1, ‘SAVING OUR ENVIRONMENT’, Year 2 got stuck into their environment topic in science. Children had lessons all about:
- reducing, reusing and recycling
- how to save water

We started the year by thinking about GOD and where GOD is found. Children spent some time painting their own ideas...
