This morning, we’ve had a lovely time revisiting some of our History, Geography and DT learning from Year 1.
In History, we recapped two heroes — Nelson Mandela and Leonora Cohen. The children really wowed me with how many facts they remembered about both significant figures.
In Geography, we recapped the seven continents and looked at the four countries that make up the UK, labelling their capital cities. Once again, the children did this confidently, demonstrating fantastic remembering skills (one of our 8Rs for learning).
Finally, in DT, we explored the design process and discussed how it’s a continuous cycle of planning, making and evaluating. We talked about how this needs to be repeated, as designers are constantly evaluating their work until they’re happy with the final design. We also tested the stability of three different structures and found that the cylinder was the most stable.
What a fab morning of learning we’ve had in Year 2! ✨
