History off the Page - Great Fire of London Day
This week, Year Two enjoyed a fabulous day learning all about the events of the Great Fire of London in 1666. They also explored what houses were like at the time, and the kinds of jobs people used to do. They were given the opportunity to be a barber surgeon (doctor), a tailor, a leather worker (tanner), a scrivener (writer), a chemist, a weaver, a perfumer and a chandler (candle maker) and they experienced a clear insight into what daily life would have been like in London at the time.
The children also did some digging and excavating in order to look at some 'evidence' found after the fire and, using their findings and experience from the morning, they identified the jobs that the people who lived in the house would have done. They looked at old maps of London and letters to then find out where they were living at the time.
We had a wonderful day with Mistress Abby from History off the Page, and would like to thank her and all of the parent helpers for making the day such a huge success. A massive thank you also to FOT as we were able to heavily reduce the charge made to parents for this experience using our 'Hooks and Highlights' budget.
2B Forest School Sessions
2B have very much enjoyed their first two Forest School sessions this year - and they were all really brilliant at using the drill slowly and carefully to make holes in conkers!
Thanks to Mr Fenn and the helpers for making the sessions so much fun!
Science in 2B
In Science we have been looking at materials - and the children started the unit by making Material Monsters!
They were given a huge table full of mixed objects and materials and then had to select items that were made from the material that their monster was to be made from. They then had to work as a group to make the objects that they had found into a monster!
The children were very proud of their monsters! Can you tell what each one was made from?
