Last week we braved storm ‘Ciaran’ and had a wonderful time at Berwick Church. Rev Peter Blee, Catherine (The Outreach Officer), Liz and Carol (Volunteers) had organised the most wonderful activities.
The children were able to light and decorate candles, sketch from the most beautiful paintings, hold a precious 16th Century Chalice, discuss some of the service men depicted in the art work and see if they could find the names on the monument.
They even watched a short film where one of the models (a farm hand) talked about posing for the artist, Vanessa Bell, in the Adoration of Christ (1942). We had some wonderful feedback (see below) and the children were wonderfully behaved.
“It really was a delight to have you and the children with us. The children were so polite, engaged and enquiring. They were a real credit to you and Miss Wood and to the school.” Catherine.
