This year’s theme is growth. You might immediately think ‘let’s get planting’, but we have some different ideas for you. We have two FREE activities based on plants which are suitable for all year groups.
Children are growing all the time and need to fuel their bodies with the right food to help. Pupils will analyse a recent meal, examine food labels and have fun making tasty, healthy ‘super seed energy balls’. Download this memorable lesson from our website.
To keep science going all week, we have several reading comprehensions linked to the theme. Our year 2 reading comprehension texts are differentiated to make them accessible to more children in your class.
An explanation text on candy floss machines 
An interview with a sweet scientist 
A Non-chronological report on ducks
Don’t forget to take photographs so you can make a display or share them on your school’s social media platforms. We would love to see what you have been doing too, so please tag us @whizzpopbangmag
