Southend-On-Sea
Our year 2 children had much fun exploring Shoeburyness beach in the city of Southend-On-Sea. They enjoyed wadding through the shallow part of the sea and collected shells, crabs and other curiosities from the beach. Some children were very hands-on and did not hesitate to pick up crabs!

Year 2 Camping
The year 2s camped in Debden – they had such a wonderful adventure. They explored the forest area and demonstrated confidence as they climbed trees and weaved in and out of the woodland. The teachers and children worked together to make dinner – a delicious BBQ. After a busy day of fun and games, they all settled around the campfire, sang songs and enjoyed eating s’mores.

As part of our Place of Worship visits at Odessa the year 2 classes visited the Sri Murugan Temple in Manor Park, London. The children learnt about the Hindu religion and traditions and this experience enabled them to see how the Hindu faith is practised.
The children enjoyed seeing the deities that they had been learning about in class. The Temple’s architecture is very ornate and created a sense of awe and wonder for all those who attended the visit.

Year 2 pupils have been learning about the artist David Hockney in Art and had the opportunity to see an animated exhibition of his art work at the Light Box in King’s Cross London.
The children displayed awe and wonder at being fully immersed in Hockney’s inspiring artwork. The experience has further ignited their interest in art.
