Year 2- Why was London burning?

Autumn 2-

Why was London Burning?

A fabulous history themed question to widen Year 2's knowledge of British History and learning how events in history have changed houses, nursing and how the fire service has changed throughout history.

Children will make their own fire engines in Design Technology themed lessons.

 


Simon Hunt visit

Today, Simon Hunt (A Teacher and an Author) visited Broadbent Fold to celebrate and share his stories with us! He read his book 'Billy the Bottom Burping Pirate.' The children found this story very amusing and even join in with the bottom burping sound effects. 


Black History Month

As a part of Black History Month celebrations we had a special visitor in Year 2. Agnes, our governor, shared her heritage with us and introduced us to Adinkra printing. Agnes explained that Adinkra in the Akan language means "saying goodbye". She told us all about different symbols used and how stamps are hand made using calabash/ gourd. The children had a go at printing different symbols first on paper and then on fabric.
