Our family of schools love to help each other learn and grow. Year 2 had a special virtual talk last week with Mrs Mckie from St Peter's 13-18 Science Department.
Year 2 learnt about Australian animals including wombats, koalas and kangaroos.
Mrs Mckie answered their weird and wonderful questions and the children learnt fascinating facts about these special creatures. Did you know Wombats can run 25mph and have cub shaped poo?!
The children also learnt about the importance of protecting the habitats of Australian animals earlier this year, when we heard about the terrible bush fires in Australia.
The children organised a special bake sale in January to raise funds for injured animals affected by the bush fires. Thanks to their pioneering efforts, the children raised £175 from the bake sale and the proceeds were sent to WWF Australia.
