Readers of the Week

We have been very busy in Year 2 learning about the Great Fire of London. Our class novel has been Toby and the Great Fire of London and we all wrote a diary entry as Toby, describing his thoughts and feelings during the fire. We also wrote some brilliant Haiku poems based on our senses and imagining what it was like during the fire. 

We have had a focus on Geography and History so far, focusing on London as it is today and how it was in the past. We have also compared the differences and similarities between how fires were fought in 1666 and how they are fought today. 

All this is helping us with our next focus piece of writing, which will be an information text about the Great Fire of London.

In PE we have been practising our jumping and dodging skills and in Maths we have moved on from fractions to learning about time and recognising o’clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past. 

Our DT lessons are going to be fun this Module, as we have learned about wheels and how they attach to vehicles and then we will be designing and making our own fire engines using junk modelling resources. (If anyone has any bits in the recycling at home that may be helpful for our vehicle making, please send them in!)
