Summer: Eco Warriors

This term, we are embarking on an exciting journey to discover the importance of caring for our planet. Our young environmentalists will explore inspiring literature, including Michael Recycle, a delightful tale that empowers children to become eco-heroes in their communities. We will also delve into Clean Up by Nathan Bryan, which encourages teamwork and responsibility in keeping our surroundings clean and green.

Additionally, we will enjoy the beautiful narrative of The Tree and the River by Aaron Becker, a touching story that illustrates the delicate relationship between nature and humanity. Through engaging activities and discussions, the children will learn the vital role they play in preserving the environment. Join us in fostering a passion for nature and sustainability as we cultivate the next generation of eco-conscious citizens!

Spring: Superheroes!

Unleash your inner superhero! This term, Year 2 will journey through time to discover incredible heroes from the past and present. We'll dive into the dramatic events of Vlad and the Great Fire of London, Toby and the Great Fire of London and extracts from the diary of Samuel Pepys, exploring the bravery and resilience of those who lived through the flames in 1666.

Through the Little People, Big Dreams series, we’ll meet inspiring figures like David Attenborough, learning how his courage and determination changed the world. We'll also celebrate Elizabeth Anderson, the first woman to qualify as a doctor in Britain, and Grace Darling, who risked her life to save others at sea. Finally, we'll shine a spotlight on modern-day superheroes: firefighters and emergency service workers who protect and support us every day.

This exciting topic will spark our imaginations and remind us that anyone can be a hero—big or small!
