Try to answer these questions when you visit the Church materials Music Pupils should learn: - About what a church feels like and looks like About why Christians come to the church, what they do there and how they care for it Why many Christians want their church to be beautiful When visiting the Church Ask the children to sit quietly and use all their senses to experience the atmosphere of the building. Ask them how they feel when they come into the church. Encourage them to talk about smells and the different textures of things they touch, e.g. smooth, polished wood, cold stone, shining metal.

Check whether there are areas where the children shouldn t go, e.g. parts of the churchyard or behind the altar rail. Be prepared for questions about death that may be prompted

5 Pupils should learn: - to identify some of the features of a church that make it a special place for Christians to evaluate what they have learnt and present the information in a variety of forms members of the church who may be present.

Take photographs to remind children of the visit when they are back in school Many aspects of the visit can be developed further in the classroom. Follow-up activities focusing on what the children have learnt may extend over several lessons. Tasks could include: - making a class book, labeling important parts of the church; Using a bank of words available in the classroom, add simple explanations to photographs that reflect why the building is special for Christians; Designing a hassock or banner using a picture or symbol seen in the church; Role play baptisms and weddings; Presenting what they learnt on their visit in collective Worship; Inviting a member of the church to come into school to talk and answer their question.
