Science Year 2: Animals and their Offspring.

In Science, we discussed what offspring meant and named some baby animals. We then spoke about how some offspring look like their adults while others do not look like their adult. We categorised those animals that did look like alike compared to those that did not.

We then grouped different animals according to whether they were reptiles, mammals, birds, fish or amphibians. 

Woodlands Farm - Nursery Acorn Class

Acorn Class visited Woodlands Farm on Shooter's Hill. We met Hannah who looked after us for the day.We went for a walk into the woods, looking for particular items including a feather and three different types of leaves.

 Hannah told us about the different birds that live in the woods. He listened to the different sounds they make.

We went on a mini beast hunt. Hannah showed us how to gently use a paintbrush to put the mini beasts into our magnifying pot.

We moved like the different mini beasts we found.

After lunch, we all had a turn on the tractor.

We had a tour of the farm and met lots of friendly animals.
