Year 2

Launch day - 23.04.2025

Year 2 soared into the History of Flight! First we presented our individual homework projects and explained what we learnt, how we made our projects and who helped us. We then continued on by learning about early flight attempts, exploring what led people to be curious about flight and how people used different materials and methods to try to take to the skies. Next, we met some of the pioneers of flight such as the Montgolfier Brothers who launched the first hot air balloon in 1783, Otto Lilienthal, who built and flew the first successful glider in 1891 and of course, the Wright brothers, who made history in 1903 with the first powered aeroplane flight. To bring history to life, we held a role-play interview with the Wright brothers! After this, the children were challenged with a game of ‘Guess who?’ We read out statements and the children worked in groups to hold up the picture of which aviator/inventor the statement was about.

For Launch day, Year 2 learned all about the invention of flight and how it has impacted the way we travel now. We learnt about different aviators like Bessie Coleman, Amelia Earhart and the inventors of the first aeroplane, the Wright brothers!

Year 2 started our new topic about our local area, Wood Green. We started the day by going for a walk through Wood Green, locating stations, bus stops, cafes, libraries, etc. We then spent the day thinking back to what we saw on our walk, drawing different places that we saw. We then drew symbols on a map of Wood Green, locating all the different locations within Wood Green.
