Year 2

We have started our new topic, The Great Fire of London and the children have been enthusiastically learning about current landmarks that can be found in modern London including The Shard, Tower Bridge, The London Eye and St Paul’s Cathedral.
We will continue to use the story,‘Katie in London, to help us create stories of our own before we begin to learn all about The Fire of London.

Over the next few weeks, in History, we will be learning about how the fire started and will be thinking about how the events brought about change. We will be comparing pictures of London now and then and considering the changes that were made after the fire.

To support our topic, we will be having a visit from the Fire Service on the 17th March.
In Science, we will be learning about materials and describing their properties. We will be making paper bridges, asking the question - How can we adapt an unsuitable
material to make it suitable?
In Maths, we have started learning about multiplication and division. We have also been learning to count in 2's, 5's, 10'’s and 3's.

On Monday 23 March, we will be visiting Kew Gardens in order to revisit and embed our knowledge about plants and The Rain Forest.
