Miss Curtis, Miss Cassell, Mrs Stokes, Mrs Molton and Miss Hopgood are our Year 2 teachers.
Our Spring Inquiry Project is Fire! Fire! As historian, the children will study the Great Fire of London and, in the aftermath, are tasked with the challenge of redesigning the city of London.
During this Inquiry Project, the children will develop their historical understanding of the Great Fire of London and learn how this significant event changed the city of London forever. They’ll examine a range of historical sources to develop their understanding of what evidence can teach us about the past. In Geography, they’ll develop their understanding of cities and towns through maps and seeing how the human features of a city change over time. They’ll also use grid references to help them design and navigate their own map designs. Through DT they will create a giant 3D map of London as it could have looked after the Great Fire.
As part of our project, we will also be undertaking a Diversity Case Study on Frank Bailey, a first-generation immigrant from Guyana, who was heartbroken when, upon applying to join the United Kingdom’s firefighting service in 1953, was told that ‘black people were not employed by Her Majesty’s Fire Service’, a position upheld by the Fire Brigades Union at the time. Refusing to accept this, Frank Bailey went on to become the first full-time black firefighter in the United Kingdom.
