This half term, Year 2 are learning about explorers. So far we have learnt about Neil Armstrong and Mae Jemison. During today's lesson we explored one of the earliest explorers, Ibn Battuta. We learnt that his love of travel started when he embarked on a pilgrimage to Mecca and continued to travel for 30 years! Once we learnt some key facts about Battuta, we then compared his pilgrimage with that of Miss Barnett's. We compared how long it took them, how they documented their travels and how transport has changed over time.
