Re day

 Year 2 enjoyed Re day thinking about the idea of candlelight as a symbol. We talked about different candles and what they are used for and the children came up with some fantastic ideas. We then thought  about the idea of candles being used to remember people or events. Finally we learnt about how the Jewish religion use candles to remember the miracle of the oil in the temple at Hanukkah and how Christian’s use candles to prepare for Jesus’ birth during Advent.
