What have we been up to?

In Year 2, we have been exploring the question, “How did we fly?” as part of our history learning. We have journeyed beyond living memory to discover how human flight began and developed over time. The children have learned about the incredible achievements of the Wright brothers, who built and flew the first successful aeroplane, as well as the inspiring stories of Amelia Earhart and Bessie Coleman. Through our lessons, the children have enjoyed discussing how they changed the world, ‘stepping into the shoes’ of the Wright brothers and local eyewitnesses, and imagining what it must have felt like to take to the skies for the very first time!  

In Design and Technology, the children designed and created their very own pouches. They learned how to plan their designs carefully and practised a simple stitch to join their fabric together. This was a tricky skill that required lots of concentration, patience and perseverance. The children showed fantastic resilience, and we are very proud of their finished pouches and the skills they have developed along the way.
