Today, we had a visit from Barnabas.

First, we all gathered in the hall for a whole school assembly. We learned about family and discussed how Christians believe that God created us as one big family. We then spoke about some of the different Christian countries around the world.

Later that day, we took part in a fun workshop. We got onto our pretend aeroplane and flew all the way to Ethiopia. We learned about churches in Ethiopia and how they are different from churches in England. Did you know, in Ethiopia, they take their shoes off and they don’t have seats. The we explored a range of Christian objects that had been found all over the world. There was so many interesting items from all over the world!

We had a fantastic time exploring Christianity.
