Movers and Shakers (History)

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.

In the Movers and Shakers project, Year 2 will learn five statements from Dawson's model that will help them identify people who are historically significant and use the words year, decade and century to describe dates and times.

They will study the life and impact of a significant person in the locality and of 10 significant individuals from around the world. They will complete in-depth studies of significant explorers Christopher Columbus and Neil Armstrong, and significant activists Emmeline Pankhurst and Rosa Parks and think carefully about the impact of their actions.

Year 2 will also carry out an independent study of a significant person from the past and learn about people who are significant today. They will also learn how significant people are commemorated and design a memorial for a person they have studied.

Reading

The decodable books that children read with an adult in class, will be set online through the eCollins Big Cat website. The texts that they are reading in school, can be accessed online through a phone, tablet or computer so that they can read at home. If you need another copy of your child's log in details for the website, please ask the Year 2 staff. If you are unable to access the books online, or would still like your child to have a physical copy of the book then it can be arranged that they are sent home, however, they must be returned in pristine condition and on time to allow other groups to conduct reading sessions in school. In addition to your child decodable text we will send a home a 'Reading for Pleasure' book every Friday. This will be a book of your child's choice which will need to be returned the following Wednesday so that it can be changed ready for Friday.
