Year 2
For Year 2, activities connect with English writing, Science, and Social Studies. By learning about different kinds of animals and the habitats in which plants and animals live, students will not only broaden their environmental awareness but also expand their vocabulary. At the same time, actively listening and observing during the activities will strengthen their concentration and enhance their enjoyment.
