Year 2 - Florence Nightingale and Parliament

In year 2, for English, we became Florence Nightingale and acted out being this heroine, using Now, Press Play. We followed the instructions and acted out looking after Jim the soldier, cleaning the floors and telling the chief what needs to be done to improve hospitals. We then created a word bank of what we saw and how we felt to help support us in writing our diary entry.

This week, we have also took part in Parliament week, we found out what Parliament is and focused on the House of Commons. We used a virtual tour to explore the House of Commons and to find out about The government, The opposition and The Speaker. We then created the House of Commons in the classroom, where we acted out a new law being made by the Prime Minister and The Speaker did a great job at controlling the MPs.
