Visit to St Andrew's Church
On Thursday, 18th May, Walnut Class went on an amazing trip to St Andrew's Church in Hornchurch. They had an exciting time riding the bus to and fro.
When they got to Hornchurch Town Centre, they walked the short distance to the church where they were well received by the Vicar with her amiable and knowledgeable team.
The children learnt about the importance of a church and the different ceremonies like weddings. They learnt about the church’s long history, their stained glass windows and saw two models of the church. One of them was made entirely of match sticks and the other made of sugar. That model was as sweet as it was beautiful except that they couldn't eat it!
Worthy of mention was the bell- ringing activity. Each child took turns to ring one of the church’s ancient bells and they absolutely loved it.
Too soon, it was time to go home and we took the bus back.
