Our RE work on Baptism



This mindmap shows what we already know about Baptism. We decided that we needed to find out more about the holy oils. Look at the beautiful white garment. Why do babies wear white for their Baptism?

Look what we saw at Ash End House Farm!

Today we looked at Acocks Green on a map and talked about all the facilities that we can find here.

We found shops, a library, a pub, a church, a school and many other things. Next week we will be off on our trip to Middleton.
