Baptism in Year 2!

 

Year 2 have been learning all about the Sacrament of Baptism in RE. We explored what happens during a baptism and why it is such a special and important celebration.

The children learned about the different symbols used during Baptism, including water, the baptismal candle and the white garment, and discussed what each one represents. We discovered how water symbolises new life and being washed clean, while the candle represents Jesus as the light of the world.

We also thought about the important roles of the priest, parents and godparents and how they promise to help a child grow in their faith and learn about God's love.

Year 2 enjoyed sharing their ideas, asking thoughtful questions and reflecting on how Baptism welcomes someone into God's family and the Church.
