Year 5 Visit to St Michael's Church:
Year 5 Visit to St Michael's Church:
Year 5 visited St Michael’s Church to explore what Jesus did during Lent and how this is lived out by Christians today. They reflected on Jesus' time in the wilderness, discussing its significance in teaching Christians about faith, sacrifice, and spiritual preparation. Linking this to their own lives, they considered what they might give up for Lent as an act of self-discipline and devotion.
