It’s been another busy week in Year 2, as the children continue to settle in brilliantly. In Science, we’ve been investigating microhabitats, and we enjoyed exploring the conservation area to find and identify minibeasts! In History, we’ve found out about important Victorian inventions and discoveries, and ordered them on a timeline. In DT, we’ve worked in teams to investigate how to make a stable chair out of paper cylinders, and some of us were successful in making a chair for a teddy bear to sit on!
