We have been learning all about baptism in our R.E. lessons this term. We all went along to Christ Church to take part in our own Baptism and to talk to Trevor.
The vicar put on special robes for baby Lucy's ceremony. First, Trevor blessed the water in the font, then poured the water on to the baby's head and made the sign of the cross. The mum and dad were given a candle which should be lit every year on the anniversary of the baptism to remind the family of what it means to be a christian. The children had fun learning about baptism and being at the church made the learning real. We would like to say a big thank you to Trevor for giving up his time and helping us.
I enjoyed the connection between our church, school and community
