Year 2 are looking for our help! They are setting up a new area on our school website focusing on protecting our wonderful coastline. Our first task is to head to Swansea Bay to look for interesting and unusual objects. It is our job to take a peek into the cool water to learn about the weird and wonderful animals and plants in their microhabitats. We worked hard to think all about what we already know about our topic and link the topic to some of the PLJ strands.  We then worked together and came up with 4 questions we would like to find out: 

1. What do starfish eat?

2. Where do sea creatures live?

3. What creatures live in rockpools?

4. How do we stay safe at the beach?

Pupil Voice

We enjoyed spending time in the enhanced provision completing the activities we decided during pupil voice.

Creating our own rockpools

One of our questions we wanted to find out this term was, how are rockpools formed? We watched the show, Time for School where a class visited a beach and saw lot's of rockpools. We decided that we wanted to create our own rockpools.

Persuasion text: Posters

Year 2 are starting a new section on their class page with a feature about beach littering. It's our job to team with The Secret Beach Bar & Kitchen to see how we can help inform visitors about protecting our beautiful beach. We worked together to think about how we could persuade Swansea residents to look after our beaches in Swansea. We discussed what persuasion is and used the skeleton to plan what information we needed to share. We decided it would be a great idea to create a poster persuading Swansea residents to keep our beaches clean. We are looking forward to putting them up outside The Secret Beach Bar & Kitchen when we visit Swansea Beach.
