R.E. trip to All Saints' Church

Just before half term, the Year 1 and 2 children benefited from a trip to All Saints' Church.  This trip supported the R.E. curriculum and it was great to have first hand experience of visiting a church. Whilst the Year 1 children thought specifically about baptism, and the role of the font, the Year 2 children looked at the different areas of the church, the banners and the pieces of furniture.  The children considered the uses of the lectern, the font, the pulpit, the alter and the organ.  Having taken in their surroundings the children chose some of their favourite objects to sketch.  We will be using these sketches over the next couple of weeks during our R.E. lessons.

A big thank you to Sandra from All Saints' for giving us some specific information about the life of this church.
