All the pupils were very excited to go on their very first trip in Year One.
On Wednesday we all walked down to St. Ninian’s church in Low Fell. We enjoyed the journey and talked about features of our local area along the way. Once there, we were greeted by Reverend Danie and Reverend Elaine. They welcomed us into the church and we all sat on the pews. The children were fascinated to learn about the different parts of the church. They learnt about the font, the altar, the lectern and the organ. They even learnt that instead of stained-glass windows, St. Ninian’s church is decorated with banners depicting stories from the Bible. The pupils held a christening and baby Sam was baptised alongside pupils who volunteered to be parents and God parents. More exciting was the mock wedding, complete with the bride and groom walking down the aisle. Some children even had a chance to try on some of the reverend’s vestments. At the end of the afternoon we all sang a song together with Reverend Elaine playing the organ. Everyone had a fantastic time.
