Year 2 became historians for the day. The children stepped into the pages of history and experienced the Great Fire of London like never before! We were transported back to 1666, where we relived the fiery drama of this iconic event.

We explored the causes, consequences, and heroes of the fire, and saw how London rose from the ashes to become the modern metropolis we know today.

Children’s curiosity was ignited through creative hands-on experiences. They actually became part of history to understand better how the fire started and spread all over their city.

Our Year 2 students had a fantastic visit to Edgware Library, where they each signed up for their very own library card! Excited to explore the world of books, they eagerly browsed the shelves and selected two books to borrow. This visit not only encouraged a love for reading but also helped them understand how a library works. A huge thank you to the library staff for their warm welcome and support! ✨

Our Year 2 children had an exciting trip to Southbank, where they explored the area’s fascinating mix of physical and human features. As they walked along the River Thames, they identified natural elements like the water and trees, alongside famous landmarks such as the London Eye and the bridges. This hands-on experience brought their geography learning to life, helping them understand how human and natural features shape our environment. A fantastic day of discovery and learning! ️

As part of National Storytelling Fortnight, our Year 2 children embarked on an exciting journey inspired by The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton. Using their imaginations, they created their own magical lands, filled with wonder, adventure, and mystery! From candy-coated kingdoms to lands of eternal sunshine, their creativity knew no bounds. Through storytelling, art, and drama, they brought their enchanted worlds to life, showcasing their fantastic ideas and storytelling skills.

What an incredible way to celebrate the magic of stories! ✨
