Year 2 forest school

This week Year 2 Ash combined their science topic about habitats with our forest school session. We created our very own wormery in a bottle using sand, compost, dead leaves and grass. The children collected lots of worms to put inside and then used the natural materials as well as recycled materials to make their own micro habitats. They came up with some fantastic ideas and had lots of fun exploring.
