This half term in Science, Year 2 have started a new topic all about what animals need to survive. We are building on our Year 1 learning, where we explored different animal groups. Now we are thinking more carefully about their individual needs.
All animals need some important things to survive:
-
Food
-
Water
-
Air
-
Shelter
Jolyon – “All animals need to have shelter and stay warm to survive.”
Zubi – “Shelter is somewhere that animals can go to be protected from the weather.”
Last week, we began by looking at mammals. We talked about how humans are mammals too, and thought about the things we need to stay alive and healthy. Over the next few weeks, we will be exploring the survival needs of other animal groups, including birds, fish and reptiles.
