Year 2 City Centre Trip

-

Today the Year 2s walked an amazing 5 miles! 

Our first stop was Chelmsford Cathedral... we stopped outside for a snack and then ventured inside the magnificent building. The children were very respectful, sitting quietly to sketch some of the amazing sights including the altar, the decorated ceiling, the candles and the statue of Jesus.

Then we walked to The Art Place which is a gallery/local artist shop. We were guided around the gallery and shown the different techniques and materials, from acrylic to recycling, textiles to ceramics. It was amazing to see the amazing craftmanship! The children also had a workshop where they got to recreate a painting using collage.

After a bit of sketching by the river, we headed for our picnic lunch (with ice lolly!) before making our way back to school through the parks.

Well done Year 2!

Bawdsey Day 2

Today has been another action-packed day here at Bawdsey, with the children up bright and early, full of energy and excitement for what lay ahead. After a hearty hot breakfast to fuel the morning, the first activities kicked off: canoeing and Survivor (a fantastic session of den building and outdoor skills). The children embraced the challenge, showing great teamwork and creativity as they constructed their shelters and took to the water with enthusiasm. Following a tasty lunch, the afternoon brought even more thrills with the giant swing — a definite favourite! There were plenty of cheers (and a few nervous giggles) as each child took their turn. We rounded off the day’s activities with a problem-solving session, where teamwork, communication, and thinking outside the box were the keys to success.
