THE CHRISTMAS EXPERIENCE
Thank you to all the staff and pupils who joined us in church on Wednesday for our Christmas Experience. The children visited six stations each one telling a different part of the story of the birth of Jesus. Thank you to Mrs Holmes, Mrs Bannister and Y5 who made the Journey Map, which helped us to tell the story of Joseph and Mary’s journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Thank you also to Mrs Sandra Cullen, one of our school governors and church warden who was the lead organiser for this event. The Christmas Experience will be in church throughout November and December, so please join us at one of our Sunday or weekday services and take some time to visit the different stations to experience the Nativity Story in this special way.
