After starting the day with a whole school mass, the key stage 2 children set off on their 6 mile walk while the younger children had a fun day in school with creative activities and games. The focus was on the images of the birds in the stained glass windows in our chapel. After looking closely at the shape and colours of the birds, the foundation stage and key stage 1 children made their own birds from card. The sun came out in time for a picnic lunch, which was followed by parachute games in the hall. The children then took their birds up to the chapel and listened to the story of St Francis of Assisi including the part when Francis preached to hundreds of birds about being thankful to God.
After lots more fun and games in the sunshine the day ended with a quiet moment of reflection about all they had learned throughout the day.
