What a brilliant week we’ve had in Year Two! The children have been buzzing with excitement after two fantastic learning experiences — a visit to the Life Education Tent and a wonderful day exploring Lorton Meadows.

At the Life Education Tent, the children were excited to meet Harold the Giraffe and help him solve a tricky problem his friends were having. Through this, they learned about the importance of kindness and how to recognise bullying. Harold also introduced the children to his "Five to Stay Alive" — water, food, sleep, exercise, and air — and explained how each one helps us stay healthy and happy. The children listened beautifully and asked thoughtful questions, showing great curiosity and care.

Later in the week, we ventured out to Lorton Meadows, where the children became real-life explorers! They investigated both woodland and pond habitats, discovering a variety of animals and insects along the way. From pond dipping to bug hunting, there was so much to see and do. One of the highlights was playing a food chain game, where some children managed to avoid being eaten by the duck — much to their delight!

Back at school, the children used everything they had learned to create their own food chains, showing a fantastic understanding of how animals and plants are connected in nature.

It’s been a week full of learning, laughter, and discovery — and we couldn’t be prouder of how engaged and enthusiastic the children have been.

Well done, Year Two!
