Class 3 was the most thoughtful place as we do lots of thinking there.
Bird Heaven was the most peaceful place as it is a small quiet area where not many people go .
The field is the most friendly place( after class 1-but we felt we could not arrive in Mrs Sutcliffe's room and set up our friendly poses especially during our Church School inspector was at the time visiting class 1! Mrs Sutcliffe told us she would not have minded proving that class 1 really is the friendliest place.
We then went across to church , exploring it and thinking about the same questions we answered earlier....
The most friendly place-singing and smiling in the pews(Reverend Lillian told us this is the peoples area of the church)
The most peaceful place-a place where people were able to speak to loved ones who had died and were now at peace .
The most thoughtful place-reading the bible from the lectern.
We also had 1 more question to answer-which is the place where you feel closest to God?
We chose next to the altar- a sacred place that we were allowed to stand next to.
Children then had time to explore and use their senses-what could they: feel, hear. see. taste, touch, hear and smell?
Reverend Lillian and Mr Crozier were there to answer questions.
When we went back to school we discussed our findings and completed some super work responding to the question: What can we learn from visiting a sacred place? Our Church School inspector really liked our work-poems, stories, stained glass windows and wordles to name a few.
I look forward to displaying it in the classroom and adding it to the Blog.
