During their new Topic unit, Year 2 are learning how safely, sensibly and correctly research using different styles of media. Each class has been researching their own person, and during the course of the unit they have been using iPads, books and other paper-based materials to find out more about them. 2A have been researching Jane Goodall, an animal and environmental activist, whereas 2B have been enthralled by the invention of Braille and exploring how to write using split peas, courtesy of Louis Braille the inventor. 2C are investigating Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon and 2D have enjoyed identifying the life of Florence Nightingale. 2E have been exploring the fantastic and exciting author, Roald Dhal, and 2F are investigating the life of Rosa Parks, a pioneer for civil rights. The entire year group will enjoy an end-of-unit information sharing during assembly time, to find out about all of the fascinating people, courtesy of their peers’ research. Ask your child about their life-changing person!
