Year 2 explore habitats at Rye Meads

The Year 2 children all had a wonderful visit to RSPB Rye Meads.  The rain kept away and we were rewarded with lots of minibeasts in a range of habitats including woodland, meadow and pond.  The children had many questions and the air was filled with excited voices as the children found so many interesting creatures. A fabulous time was had by all and we are very grateful for all of the parents who accompanied us on the trip as we could not have gone without you! Scroll through the photos to see just how eager to learn we are!

  • Four lesser spotted waterboatmen!
  • The identification sheets were really useful to find out what we had found.
  • We collected minibeasts with legs using a brush
  • We used a spoon to collect wet minibeasts
  • Sweeping the grass using nets
