We had the most beautiful trip to Berwick Church. Catherine Marsh Lewis and Reverend Peter Blee organised a creative and informative morning. When we arrived we were shown around the grounds of the church, listening and looking for interesting plants as well as discussion about the sundial, a commemorative bird bath (instead of a headstone) and the war memorial. Afterwards, we went inside and shared the beautiful paintings which we tried to put in order of Christ’s life. One of our pupils was allowed to fill up the font and light the Paschal candle, another rang the church bell and two pupils read a short passage from the Bible. The passage was based on the Christmas story and linked to the main painting. We looked at the altar and shared the significance of it. We discussed the beautiful paintings by Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell and Quentin Bell.
