On Tuesday, Reception children got the coach to Rochester Cathedral. For some children, it was their first time riding on a coach, making it quite an exciting experience. During our visit to Rochester, the children were amazed at how big the inside of the cathedral was. The children were really interested in learning about the golden eagle bible stand and the beautiful stained-glass windows, each telling different stories. They walked on very old stairs, over 300 hundred years old, and sung in the special choir area. One child even got dressed up as a Bishop, which was a very special moment for him: "my dream came true because I always wanted to visit the Cathedral." This visit was a wonderful learning experience for Butterfly Class and they were praised by their tour guide for their excellent behaviour and great listening.
Nominations close next Wednesday for the THAT Staff Awards! If you haven't yet done so, please take a moment to nominate a member of Temple Mill staff for one of the awards! bit.ly/thatawards24
