Today, the children in Year One walked to St John's Church. They learnt all about the altar, stained glass windows, the font and many more artefacts. They finished the visit by singing songs from their upcoming Nativity performance, their voices filled the church beautifully. Thank you very much to our fabulous children, volunteers and, of course, to Father Tim and Mother Emily as always.
