Autumn 2
The Great Fire of London
In Year 2 we are learning all about the Great Fire. We have looked at a timeline of where the fire started and how it grew. We have explored why the fire spread so easily and used repeated patterns in art to create the Stuart houses. The children have also written some fantastic diary entries as Samuel Pepys using some extraordinary language!
Autumn 1
Born Survivor
What a fantastic first topic of Year 2. The children have learnt all about famous explorers of the past and present. They have thought about why it is important to remember them and why explorers go on expeditions. The children had a go at exploring their local area and school grounds themselves. They then made their own maps to encourage other people to explore Barley Cop Woodland too!
