What children and teachers have said about their visits to St Mary’s

Year 1 had the best time consolidating their learning of the Nativity at St. Mary’s Church this week with Ms Janis.

- A teacher from St Mary's Church of England Primary School

I really loved when I got to draw someone I love inside the angel, as well as when I drew a present that I would give to baby Jesus.

- Child A from St Mary's Church of England Primary School

It was realistic because it showed us what it would be like to do these things with Jesus and how it would feel.

- Child Z from St Mary's Church of England Primary School
