What is London like now and what will we see there?
Prepare to locate and explore where London is on a map, what country it sits inside and which other countries and capital cities are nearby. Explore the monuments and attractions of London, and realise just why people love to visit this city, and why it is very important to some people too!
Has London always looked the same?
Research the English capital city further, looking specifically at the show it has changed over time. Has this wonderful city changed, or has it stayed the same? Why has it changed?

Our Year 2 Timetable
The timetable below shows when children will need to bring in specific items during the week. It is childrens' responsibility to ensure that they bring the correct equipment and kit on specific days. If any changes are made, parents will be notified via parent pay or via text message. We ask that children bring in their reading records and books daily, so that we are able to read with the children whenever possible.
