What a lovely week we have had in Year 2!

The children have been working on their new topic - The Great Fire of London. We have made excellent start to our diary writes and the children have all enganged in wonderful disucssions and debates. 

In Maths, we have began to look at fractions. We are very proud of the start the children have made to this topic. 

Within RE, we have discussed why the bible is important to Christians. The children have created wonderful pieces of work to show their understanding.

Year 2 have loved learning about London in 1666, we explored the past vs the present looking at things like; transport, jobs, houses and cooking. We have also had a look at the fire service past and present and how this has evolved through time. 

The children have loved exploring different ways to express movement through dance that showcase features of The Great Fire of London. We have started to create a whole class dance after sharing group Ideas. 

Within continous provision, the children have created marbled pieces showing the sky line of London during 1666. We have also made wooden houses using straw and sticks.  

Have a lovely weekend!
