As part of their exciting Habitats topic, Year 2 enjoyed a trip to the London Aquarium. The
children were fascinated by the incredible variety of marine life. The highlights of the day
were certainly the mesmerising jellyfish and the thrilling moment when they spotted a shark
swimming up close!

They were also fortunate to have a lovely, warm autumn day, which made the trip even more special. After exploring the aquarium, the children headed to nearby Jubilee Gardens, where they enjoyed a picnic lunch with a view of the London Eye. It was a fantastic day filled with learning, fun, and plenty of awe and wonder at the amazing habitats beneath the sea.
