This morning the children were fascinated to see stunning art work Gaia by renowned artist Luke Jerram hanging in St Wulfram’s Church. As well as developing their geographical knowledge of the Earth, the children also developed their understanding of how important it is that we care for God’s wonderful world. The children also enjoyed exploring the church and were quick to identify the Bible stories depicted in the stained glass windows.
