“Science is a way of thinking.” – C. Sagan

This saying is so true, and ‘thinking’ was certainly what the Year 1’s had to do in their Science lesson this week. They took all the knowledge that they had gained from our discussions around animal habitats, environments, diet, and animal babies, and had to design their own animal habitat.

It was a treat to watch them draw pictures of their favourite animals, work out how to create their habitat and add in all the bits and bobs that they need to make an ideal environment for their animal.

They all came up with so many ideas, and were able to assist each other in ways that could encourage new designs. I saw them make cylinders, cubes and domes. I was super impressed.

They were all so proud of their accomplishments, and I am sure that we can all agree that we are proud of them too.
