In our current unit of inquiry, Year 2 are learning all about plants. For the first two weeks the boys were examining the structure and functions of plants where they labelled a plant and learnt about the function of each part. Then we discussed photosynthesis and the boys have come to understand how plants can produce their own food.

Last week in the library, we researched the life cycles of different animals where the boys were placed in small co-operative groups to contribute information about their chosen animal. Each small group presented back to the class through role-play, identifying and performing each part of the animal’s life cycle.
