This half term in science, Year 2 are learning about the needs of animals for survival. This week, we focused on birds, looking closely at their features and exploring what they need to survive.

After researching British birds, we went on a birdwatching walk around the school. The children carefully observed the birds they spotted and recorded their findings on a birdwatching sheet. We were lucky enough to spot two pheasants and a red kite. These were exciting sightings because neither bird was on our bird list!

During the activity, the children learnt how to gather and record data by completing a birdwatch. They worked carefully as scientists, using their observations to identify and record the different birds around our school. It was a lovely opportunity to take our science learning outdoors and explore the wildlife on our doorstep.
