Welcome to Year 2

We hope you had a restful Easter break and are ready to begin our exciting, History-themed topic “Vicious Vikings!”. We will be fully immersing ourselves in all things Viking, with the hope of answering the question: “Were Vikings really vicious?”. We will continue to focus on the core aspects of the Year 2 curriculum. This term, our learning has a History focus; the children will be finding out who the Vikings were, where they came from and how they lived their lives. In English, the children will also be writing their own exciting Viking adventure story about a Viking, who would definitely not be described as vicious!
Our Big Idea this term is Invasion and Civilization. We will be discussing broad questions such as:
- Do you need rules to live peacefully?
- How should decisions be made fairly?
- Where in the ancient world would you flourish?
Inspirational People we will be learning about, this term:
- Winston Churchill- best remembered for successfully leading Britain through World War II.
- Malala Yousafzai- campaigns for female education and human rights in Pakistan and around the world.
