Year 2
Autumn 1 - People from the Past
In People of the Past, we will be learning about a variety of significant people who left a lasting impact on humanity through their hard work, resilience and creativity. As historians, we will investigate the lives of several influential figures to find out about the personal qualities that enabled them to shape the world as we know it. As musicians and artists, we will be producing pieces inspired by the lives and works of famous composers and painters, thereby exploring the elements that made their creations so ground-breaking. Throughout the unit, learners should be encouraged to reflect: How are our lives different thanks to the work of these significant people?
Autumn 2 - Buildings
In Buildings, we will be learning all about the different structures we see in towns and cities around the world. We will explore our locality to look at old and new buildings and use this as inspiration for Art. As geographers, we will be learning about how houses and structures differ from country to country and the purposes they serve. As engineers, we will be exploring the Science behind the construction of structures throughmaking models and testing materials. What is your home like? How is it similar and different to other homes around the world?

Spring - Treasure Islands
The world is a connected place, for thousands of years we have been building networks of trade across the land and sea. In this unit, we will explore how islands became increasingly connected and how they sold their resources to others. We will also look at the challenges of transporting goods across the seas and oceans and how this was threatened by nature and by people... pirates!
We will be geographers and cartographers as well as artists and designers.

Summer 1 - From A to B (new for 2022)
The letters ‘A’ and ‘B’ can be used to mean anything we like. Often, we use 'from A to B' to talk about travel from one place to another. Think about all the different places you travel. In this unit we will be learning about the different types of journeys we can make, across land, sea and air. In order to do this, we will need to be geographers, historians and engineers. How we travel is constantly changing, so what does the future hold for travel and journeys?
Summer 2 - The stories people tell
In The Stories People Tell, we will be learning about how we can become better storytellers by studying great tales from the past, such as myths and legends. In order to do this, we will need to take on the role of historians, geographers and artists.
What story would you like to share with others – and how would you do it?
