This week, in science, Hedgehogs have been exploring animals and the different adaptations they have to protect themselves. We have been really focusing on what prey is and what a predator is in the food chain. We then went on to look at the different ‘prey’ animals and how they might have special features to protect themselves from prey. Hedgehogs learnt that an animal might have a shell, bright colours or even a stinky smell (yuck) to scare predators .

They then completed science experiments where we explored camouflage. We made our own camouflaged and non-camouflaged moths then went outside to see if we could blend them into the woodlands habitat. They explored the contrast between the camouflaged and non-camouflaged moth. Year Two then played lots of games where they had to find the moths. Year Two have really understood this concept and been super stars at understanding this then applying this in their learning.
