On Tuesday, Year 2 enjoyed an informative visit to St Andrew's Church. After taking a stroll through the graveyard to find the resting place of Captain Blood, the children participated in a range of activities including bell ringing and organ playing. The children also took part in a mock baptism of Shaun the Sheep with one lucky pupil playing the part of the vicar. We would like to thank St Andrew's for their hospitality and for making this educational visit so much fun.
