Year 2 Go Totally Tropical!

​Year 2 had a fantastic day out at Tropical World in Leeds, where we learned all about different habitats and the amazing creatures that live in them.
In the morning, the children took part in an exciting workshop. They became habitat detectives and learned how scientists can work out which animals live in certain environments — by using animal poo for clues!  The children were fascinated to discover how an animal’s diet and droppings can tell us so much about where it lives. They also learned about how animals adapt to their environments to help them survive, and discussed how we can all make good choices to look after our environment.

​After lunch, we explored Tropical World and saw a huge variety of animals from around the world. The children were full of excitement as they spotted reptiles, birds, insects and mammals in their different habitats. The meerkats were a firm favourite — the children loved watching them scurry around and agreed they were very cute!
All of the children behaved beautifully throughout the day and were a real pleasure to take. They listened carefully, showed curiosity, and represented the school wonderfully.
Well done, Year 2 — what a brilliant day of learning and fun!
