St Stephen’s by Class 1

The question we are exploring this half term in our RE sessions is ‘What happens in a church?’
 

Today, we talked about how lucky we are to have our church, St Stephen’s so close to our school and to be part of the church community.  We talked about all the different celebrations we have enjoyed in church this year since September and what our favourite things to do in church are.
 

We then looked closely at some pictures of church buildings and walked around the outside of  St Stephen’s in the gorgeous sunshine to discover what distinctive features it has. The children enjoyed spotting where the bell tower was and looking closely at the shape and decoration on the windows. 
 

Once we returned to class, everyone worked carefully and with such focus to draw the church remembering the key features.  Amazing art work Class 1!
