Year 2
Welcome to Year 2
Here you will find all the information you need to know about the goings on in Year 2.
Our topic this term is 'Homes and Toys' this is a history unit of work where we will begin to develop an awareness of the past. We will compare and discuss how homes and toys/games have changed overtime and identify similarities between ways of life in different periods of time.
This will be done through:
- Talking about similarities and differences
- Using parts of stories and other sources
- Reflecting on own experiences
Throughout our learning, we will be considering key questions (listed below) and using our research and newly acquired knowledge to answer them.
- What has changed and what has stayed the same in homes since the Victorian Era?
- Do we play with the same toys as children in the past?
- Why have toys and books changed?
- What are the similarities and differences between playground games now and then?
Our English units of work will be based on Goldilocks and the Three Bears , Jim and the Beanstalk, The House Held up by Trees and The Journey Home.
