As part of learning about places in our community we started our term off with a walk to the United Reform Church this week. Rev. McGougan kindly invited us to his place of work to explore the building and learn what happens there. We found out what different objects in the church are used for and learned a little about its history. The careful climb up the staircase led to the upper part of the church where found out about the pews having been made from a shipwreck and were able to get a super view of the whole of the church.
\nRev. McGougan also told us about lots of different groups that meet in the church hall through the week including a group that plays indoor curling. Children and adults alike all had a turn at aiming the curling stone at the target which was great fun and we finished off our visit with a look in the garden where Rev. McGougan showed us the beautiful birds that live there in big cages.
\nThank you to Rev. McGougan for making us feel so welcome and to all the parents who came with us on our very interesting outing. Here are the morning children on their visit. We will post afternoon photos soon.
