Earlier in the week, Year 4 visited St Alphege Church in Solihull where we spent a morning in the beautiful church and listened to the Easter Story. It linked perfectly to our current RE learning. 

There were sad parts of the story but also joyful parts when we realised Jesus had come back to life and been resurrected. The children listened intently and carefully. It was extremely calm, peaceful and tranquil in the Church.

We learnt about how Jesus washed his disciples feet and then Miss Beacom and Mrs Hussain had the pleasure of washing Archie, Despina and Alanna’s feet! Jesus did this to show that no one is too important to show acts of kindness.

We learnt about all the sacrifices Jesus made and reflected on things we are thankful for or things we may be worried about. We wrote these down on strips of paper and then left them in the Chapel. The Chapel is a safe space where the Priest sometimes goes to reflect and say prayers to help people share their worries with Jesus.

Thank you to the volunteers at St Alphege for allowing us to visit your beautiful Church. We had a lovely time!
