What children learn in Year 2 history
In Year 2, children compare the lives of significant individuals from different periods, such as Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole, or Neil Armstrong and Christopher Columbus.
They put people and events in order on a timeline and talk about why people are remembered.
Key goals for Year 2 include:
- say what a significant person did and why they are remembered
- compare two people from different times
- put people in order on a simple timeline
