On Thursday, Year 1 visited Newcastle city centre to see the features of a city, including the cathedral and universities. Children were fascinated to see Newcastle Castle and loved how old it looked. We then visited St. Nicholas’ Cathedral to explore how Jesus’ Gospel teachings might be seen in action. Reverend Jonny, our class champion visited with us and taught us how to offer peace or “pax” to others.

Children were moved to see people sheltering in the church who might otherwise have nowhere else to go. This was an important moment for us all!
