The Church Beside Our School

Last week we learned a little bit about the church beside our school. It is very old - it's a lot older than our grannies and grandads!

We visited the church.

We saw rings on the wall outside the church. That is where the people tied their horses when they went into the church.

We went inside the church. We sat on a pew which is a church bench. We said a prayer. We saw lots of candles. We met a priest who showed us the clothes he wears when he says mass. One girl even got to try on the priests' stole.

We looked at the windows. They are so pretty and colourful. They are called stained glass windows.

We looked at the big old doors at the front of the church. Those doors have been there since the church was built. That's a long, long time ago!

When we got back to class we drew pictures of the church.
