A visiting virtual vicar 'zooms in' to Barn Owls

To mark the beginning of Advent, and as part of their Religious Education learning about Christianity, the Barn Owls (KS1) enjoyed a Zoom visit from Reverend Stephen Partridge. Stephen showed the children his advent calendars and his three different types of Nativity scene (knitted, matchbox-sized and gingerbread), whilst explaining to the children why Christmas is so important to Christians. Then children asked some great questions, which included: 'When was God born?' and 'Why do you pray?' The class then enjoyed retelling the story of Jesus' birth in our woods - cold but fun!
