Our trip to St Mary’s Church!

Cedar Class went on a very chilly walk down to St Mary's Church.

We have been learning all about Christianity. We have learnt about the church as well as all the different features you could expect to find in a church. We took a trip down to St Mary's Church to go and see all of these features for ourselves. 

We arrived at the church and the first thing we noticed were the gargoyles built into the walls to rid evil spirits, we enjoyed looking for them. We were met by Canon Michael (the vicar) and Reverend Dan. When we got inside the church, they showed us the font and we got to sit in the pews. Henry and Anna showed us what would happen during a service. 

The stainglass windows were very beautiful and we looked at the story behind the pictures. Finally, we were shown the different robes the reverend would wear at different times of the year . We had lots of interesting questions to ask that were answered very clearly for us. 

We had a wonderul afternoon and now know a lot more about churches and their importance within Christianity!
