September
As part of our History work on the Great Fire of London and our DT work when we will be designing and making our own fire engines, we had a visit from the firefighters from the Billericay Fire Station. We talked about the Great Fire of London and how fire engines have changed over time. The firefighters showed us all of the different equipment found on or in a fire engine and explained their use. We got to go in the fire engine and make water spurt out of a water pump from World War I. At the end, we timed Miss Aston as she put on the fire fighters uniform. Everyone had a great time and we would like to thank the firefighters very much for their inspiring visit.

The Great Fire of London Workshop
To immerse ourselves into our history topic (The Great Fire of London), we took part in a fantastic workshop. We re-enacted the story of the Great Fire and all played an important part of the storytelling. Using props and costumes, we really made the characters come to life!
We learnt lots of new and interesting facts about the Great Fire of London which we will build upon in our upcoming History lessons.
Welcome to the year 2 page! We will post monthly updates here which will include pictures of the children working and some of their work as an insight into what they are learning about in school. We're really looking forward to working with your children and watching them grow. We will have our meet the teacher session on Wednesday 9th September after school in the hall - we really hope you can make it!
Miss Aston and Mrs Pye
Reading is a key part of learning and through a range of texts, we hope children become immersed and enjoy reading for pleasure.
Here is a list of recommended reads for Year 2 to help inspire and excite children.
