Primary 2 will be learning about living and non -living things in Science and the differences between them. They will be learning about the seven characteristics of living things  e.g. growth, respiration or the need for nutrition. They will also be learning about how living things rely on each other for nutrition through food chains.

For homework, take your child on a walk and ask them to name the living and non-living things that they can see and ask them to explain why they think they are living or non living.
