Year 2 Summer Forest School Fun

Year 2 Forest Fun! 🌳🍦

Year 2 had a wonderful afternoon out in the forest this week, filled with adventure, laughter, and a well-earned ice cream! The children loved exploring nature — climbing trees, spotting bugs, and discovering all sorts of woodland treasures. They showed great curiosity and confidence while investigating their surroundings. A highlight of the afternoon was enjoying ice cream under the shade of the trees, followed by lots of fun on the swings and plenty of imaginative play.

It was a lovely way to enjoy the outdoors, build friendships, and make special memories together!

Eco Schools Heaton Park Celebration!

Our Eco Leaders were invited by Eco Schools to attend a celebration to thank the Eco Leaders in Manchester for their work over the year. It was a fantastic day where they took part in several workshops related to Eco topics.

The first workshop was with the National Education Nature Parks, which was to investigate the species around the immediate area and create a bar graph with coloured paper which was brilliant at showing us which were the most common or rarest species in that area:

They were also lucky enough to meet Sarah Roberts – an eco journalist and wildlife explorer who has raised awareness about the importance of sharks by recording many shows where she swam with different sharks. She is starring in a new series on her own series netflix called #Allthesharks which begins on Friday 4th July.

We had a picnic at lunchtime which was nice in the warm weather…

We then created some poems about nature which were amazing:

And read them out….

The last workshop we took part in was from the Lancashire wildlife Trust where we were able to create two canvases inspired by what nature we see around Manchester… hopefully we will put them up around school!

The Eco leaders also were given a pack of Eco books and a free ice cream each by Eco schools and finished off with some time to play in the playground area too! All in all a great day out!
