Year 2's Microhabitat Pictograms!

Our summer term science lessons have begun with lots of outdoor learning! We've been exploring microhabitats and the minibeasts that live in them. We visited two areas of the school: the environmental area and the stick area and observed what we could find. The children completed tally charts to record how many minibeasts they spotted in each microhabitat and luckily, they're already tally chart experts thanks to our current maths unit on statistics!

The children were great scientists, making sure to be respectful of the minibeasts and their habitats and leaving them how they found them!

Pictograms are another focus in our current maths lessons, so as a challenge, the children turned their minibeast tally charts into pictograms. They turned out amazing! Below are some fantastic examples of their work:

P.s. The children wanted to make sure the very cool moth they found in the stick area was included in this post - see below!
