Sense of Christmas in Year 2

7th Dec 2025

On Thursday Year 2 went on a Christmas Sense Walk around the school. What could they see, hear, smell, taste and feel that helped them understand that it was the season of Christmas? The walk culminated in the classroom where they were offered the taste of Christmas… Christmas pudding, mince pies and gingerbread cookies. Can you guess which was their favourite? We summarised our experience in a word bank and the children were then ready to write some sentences ….A Sense of Christmas.
