This term in Year 2 Religion, we are learning how people come together to celebrate as part of the Church community. We are learning that through Baptism, individuals are welcomed into God’s family, and we are exploring the special symbols and actions used in this sacrament. We are learning about our local Church communities and the important seasons and celebrations in the Church’s year, such as Easter and Christmas. We are also being introduced to the Sacrament of Penance (Reconciliation), understanding it as a time for saying sorry and receiving forgiveness. Throughout the unit, we are learning about the importance of celebration, belonging, and shared traditions in the life of the Church.

To begin our unit of learning, students were encouraged to bring in photos of their own celebrations to share with the class. We have created a Celebration Wall in the Junior Learning Space to display all of our celebration photos.
