Year 2

We will be learning about Mary Seacole and Florence Nightingale and the changes these two important women

made to health and hygiene. We will be asking and answering questions about how they changed the role of nurses

in society.

Let's Go to China

The children will be learning about all about the culture and traditions of another country and beginning to make

comparisons to our home of Norton.

Around the world

We will look at maps of the local area and begin to identify human and physical features of the United Kingdom.

The children will also use maps to identify continents and oceans around the world. They will also name and locate

the countries and capital cities that make up Britain. 

Castles and Knights.
During this topic, we'll learn about the different parts of a castle and why they were built. We will enjoy investigating

how knights lived and their role in society.

Oh I do like to be beside the Seaside!
We will be comparing seaside holidays in the past with holidays today. Our work will focus on travel, clothing and

leisure activities. We will have a focus that covers both history and geography, as we look at different seaside resorts

in the UK.
