Year 2 2023 - 2024

We have lots of exciting learning opportunities in Year 2!

Our learning includes 'The UK', 'The Great Fire of London', 'Sarah Forbes Bonetta', 'The Story of Two Islands', 'Poles Apart' and 'Explorers of the 'World and Beyond'.

We step back in time and investigate artefacts from 1666 when the Great Fire of London began! We take a virtual trip to Pointe-a-Pierre in Trinidad and Tobago and visit Chester Zoo to find out about how animals adapt to survive in their habitat.
