First, the children presented their homework projects about our topic, where we are comparing Wood Green to Kenya. The children then conducted some research about Kenya, finding out information such as the official languages, the capital city and the population. Then they learnt lots more facts as a class. We also located Kenya on a map and looked for major cities, rivers and oceans.
We then focused on Kenya’s national parks and game reserves, learning about Kenya’s wonderful wildlife. We also learnt about migration and what it means. We were able to conduct some research on the Big Five animals, completed fact files about them and shared our findings.

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.

The Great Fire of London has created great excitement in Year 2. Over the holidays, the children (with some additional adult help) completed their projects and returned to school with lots of knowledge on the Great Fire. This has led to interesting and informative discussions surrounding how it started and why it spread so quickly. As we go through the half term we will be looking at the fires' lasting effects. This will be further helped by our workshop at the end of January.

Launch day- 30.10.23
Year 2s’ new topic is Pole to Pole. We were so impressed with the quality and quantity of projects that we received after the half term. We were also impressed with the research the children had done to create their project which was evident when they spoke to the class. During the day we looked at the geography of the Arctic, the animals that lived there and how they survive. We then looked at a corresponding country, Kenya. We discussed the different landscapes found in Kenya and the animals that live there. We also started to look at animal habitats and why animals are found in one environment and not in others.
The children are really excited about this topic and have continued doing research at home and sharing this with the class.

First, the children shared their homework projects. We learnt about the many explorations we’ve all been on. Some of us shared some research about some famous explorers, too. We then learnt about some famous explorers, such as Christopher Columbus and Amelia Earhartt. We researched and created fact files about the various explorers. Additionally, Explorer Bear was going to be visiting the school on an expedition so we helped him in deciding what to pack and created a floor plan so he doesn't get lost! We had an awesome day!
