Year 2: What do animals, including humans, need to survive?

This week in Science, the children were talking about things that are essential for animal survival: food, water and air. They then made some wonderful posters about different animals, to describe how we would look after them. We recognised the difference between things we might want to improve our lives, and the things that are essential. We also identified how animals have adapted to their environment for these essential things, such as fish having gills for underwater breathing.
