This week, Year 2 have been exploring the great outdoors on a very special habitat walk around our school grounds. We put on our explorer hats and set off to see what kinds of living things we could discover in the different areas around us.

We learned that habitats are the places where animals and plants live, and that even the smallest spaces can become a home for tiny creatures. As we walked, we spotted so many microhabitats—little hideouts where invertebrates like to live. Some were under logs, others beneath stones, and quite a few were tucked away in the long grass. The most exciting discoveries came when we explored our school garden.
