Our trip to Alton Castle

Our Visit to Alton Castle was fantastic. Well done Year 3! Scroll down to see where we went!

We all had chance to have a tour of the castle, share a mediation, play games using team work and make some art work. We completed our retreat day with a prayer service where we thought about the feeding of the 5000. The staff there made us feel very welcome.

We will post pictures of our other activities on the life channel.

This was our view when we had lunch on our trip.

This is a picture of Alton Castle where we went on our trip yesterday.

It was a tidy, comfortable cottage with a lush and leafy garden.

RE this week

This week in RE we will be continuing preparing for our First Holy Communion. We will look at the Lamb of God:
• Lamb of God you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
