Year 2 5.12.25

Christmas

Year 2 have had a great week full of Christmas festivities. Firstly they enjoyed Christmas Jumper Day – a huge thank you to our amazing catering team who cooked us a delicious feast on Tuesday with all the trimmings. Today, the children performed brilliantly in their Christmas nativity. We are so proud of all the hard work they have put in over the last few weeks and it really paid off as they sang their songs so enthusiastically. Well done to all! Year 2 Team

This week, we have brought our learning about the Great Fire of London to a close. The children have enjoyed using iPads to play an interactive Great Fire of London game, helping them identify what evidence from the time tells us about the event. They have stepped into the role of historians, carefully selecting the most appropriate sources and evidence to answer their questions.

To deepen their understanding, we read King Charles II’s proclamation and explored how London was rebuilt after the fire. The children then used their creativity to redesign the city, planning houses made only from brick or stone and creating their own fire marks to protect properties. Year 2 Team
