Have you been to Church?  Why did you go?   A christening, a wedding, Harvest Festival, or Christmas?

Church is a place in the community where people go for special events.   Have a look at the following video  and powerpoint of a christening.

In Year 1 we usually go on a trip to St Giles Church to look inside at the different areas and what they are used for. 

There are some beautiful things found inside Church and Rev. Louise has kindly videoed them for us.

When you have watched them you could draw your favourite one and give a reason for your choice.

Enjoy watching.....
