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 Pelé, Rosa Parks, David Attenborough, and Marie Curie, learning how their courage and determination changed the world. We'll also celebrate real-life historical heroes like 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!
