Harrow Lodge Primary School

Welcome to Year 2

All of our children have returned to school with big smiling faces, safe and well and ready to learn.

Miss Batt and Miss Harrison are always happy to help if you have any queries. Alternatively, you can contact us at year2@harrowlodgeprimary.com

This year, the children will start off by studying basic geographical skills through the Let’s Explore the World topic, followed by our ‘Movers and Shakers’ topic where they will learn about many significant historical figures and what they did to change history. In the spring, the children will explore beaches and coastlines in the geography-rich Coastline topic. Finally, in the summer term the children will learn all about our most famous Kings and Queens through our Magnificent Monarchs topic (let’s hope they keep their head!)

It is certainly going to be a busy year!

Our topics for the autumn term are Movers and Shakers and Let’s Explore the World

Movers and Shakers

This project teaches children about historically significant people who have had a major impact on the world. They will learn to use timelines, stories and historical sources to find out about the people featured and use historical models to explore their significance.

Let’s Explore the World

This essential skills and knowledge project teaches children about atlases, maps and cardinal compass points. They learn about the characteristics of the four countries of the United Kingdom and find out why there are hot, temperate and cold places around the world. They also compare England to Somalia. Children carry out fieldwork, collecting primary data in their locality to answer geographical questions.
