Year 1 Trip to St Mark's

Date: 5th Dec 2022 @ 7:04pm

This week we were lucky enough to visit St Mark’s Church. We met Reverend Matthew and told him everything that we have leant about Christianity so far. Reverend Matthew then read the nativity story to us and we all joined in with different parts. He taught us about the key messages in the story and the roles of different characters. We then learnt about the advent wreath and the symbolism of the different candles. Finally we looked around the church and asked and answered lots of questions about features of the church.

‘The pink candle on the wreath is for Mary’

‘The white candle is for Jesus and it is lit on Christmas Day’

‘The font is where Christians baptise a baby to welcome them into the Church family’

‘Matthew, Mark, Luke and Josh are the four gospels’

‘Christmas is about Jesus being born, not just presents!’
