As part of our Reception class R.E lessons we’ve been looking at ‘Special Places’. 

We were excited to visit St Marks Church, because we know that a church is a special place for Christians. During our visit, we learnt why Christians go to church and what they do there.

We sung songs, listened to the story of ‘The Lost  Sheep’, did some colouring and listened to Rev Dave play the organ. 
Everyone got to light a special prayer candle and say “good afternoon” or “welcome to St Marks Church” standing in the pulpit. 
We saw the holy water in the font and learnt what it’s used for…some of us got to put some on Rev Dave’s head!
Finally, we all got to ring the church bell 🔔 how exciting, we had a fab afternoon!
