Bog Baby: Creatures and Habitats!

Lesson: English

Class: Year 2 Year: 2024 - 2025

In English, we read the story 'Bog Baby' by Jeanne Willis which was definitely a favourite amongst our class. The story is about two little girls who sneak into the woods and find a bog babyin a pond which they catch and secretly bring home as a pet, keeping it in a little bucket and feeding it cake crumbs. The bog baby gets poorly and when mum finds the little girls upset, they tell her what they did. We discussed the word 'habitat' and decided to creat our own habitat for a Bog Baby. The children designed their own creature and gave it a name and then decided what type of habitat it would need. They then made their own habitat and wrote instructions alongside it.
