Year 2

Welcome to Year 2

This half - term we have had so much fun learning all about the Great Fire of London.

In English, we read 'Toby and the Great Fire of London' and 'The Baker's boy and the Great Fire of London'. We also read poems and Non-Fiction books based on this significant event.

Have a look below at all the amazing work we did based on these books.
