Hello Everyone,

 

It was so lovely to see all the children back at school after the half term break. On Tuesday, the children enjoyed their visit to Christ Church, where they learnt more about ‘Baptism’. The church’s Vicar used a doll to show the children what happens during a baptism ceremony. Then they carried out 3 activities which supported their learning on this topic. The children were so well behaved and they made us extremely proud. Well done Year 1
