Year 2 enjoyed a hands-on learning experience at Barking Abbey Park, where they conducted a data collection exercise by counting the different types of vehicles passing by. Back at school, they used the data to create graphs and had thoughtful discussions about their findings, interpreting the results together.  

As we enter the holy season of Advent, year 2 have been reflecting on its meaning and preparing their hearts for the coming of Jesus. To mark this special time, they created beautiful Christingles, each filled with powerful symbolism to remind us of Jesus as the Light of the World. Through making these Christingles, the children deepened their understanding of Advent and reflected on how they can share God's love with others during this season of preparation. It was a joyful and meaningful activity that brought the message of Christmas to life in a truly special way.  

Year 2 have been exploring 2D shapes in a fun and interactive way! The children worked on sorting shapes based on their color, number of sides, and vertices. This hands-on activity helped them deepen their understanding of geometry while practicing key skills like observation, comparison and classification.
