As part of their learning in RE, Aqua class enjoyed a visit up to Exton church yesterday. We had learnt about the key parts of a Christian church in our lesson the previous week, and went to see how many of these we could spot!

The children enjoyed finding the font, pulpit, lectern, altar and cross. We also looked at the stained glass windows and the monuments inside the church. The children were great detectives and asked lots of questions about other things they spotted, such as the churchwarden's staffs and the door at the side of the sanctuary. 

Although the children are used to visiting the church for our end of term services, they enjoyed the opportunity to explore their surroundings and take their time to really look at the building. We even learnt that it is important to look up when we visit places - we found some beautiful banners!
