Year 2 had an exciting visit to St. Margaret's Church in Barking to launch their Movers and Shakers topic in History. The children have been learning about Captain James Cook, a significant figure from the local area, who was married in St. Margaret's Church in 1762. They explored Cook's incredible voyages of discovery and his important work as a cartographer. During the visit, the children also had the chance to explore the beautiful church itself, discovering its rich history and importance to the local community. It was a wonderful start to their topic on influential historical figures!
