To support their RE learning, EYFS and Year 4 took a trip to our local church. They spent their time exploring the features of a church through a treasure hunt. Reverend Jo also discussed the events that happen in a church such as weddings, baptisms and holy communion. Their understanding was then taken back to school to help them with their enquiry unit. EYFS have been exploring 'Special Places' and Year 4 have been finding out 'Do people need to go to church to show they are Christians?'.
"This was a really exciting way of learning about a church. I have never been to a church before."
"I learnt about the font. That is where people are baptised to be welcomed into Christianity. It makes them feel close to God."
"I liked the candles and the windows. They were really beautiful."
