Wednesday 10th February was an exciting and memorable day in P1/2. It was the day we celebrated the marriage of Carla and Michael!
Over the past few weeks, P1/2 have been busy learning about Christian Celebrations, in particular, church weddings. They have been learning about the inside of a church and the customs and traditions surrounding a Christian wedding. To end this mini-topic, the class decided to plan and hold a ‘mock wedding’ to showcase everything they had learned. Lots of planning and preparation took place, just like a real wedding!
The wedding party had to be picked, outfits organised, order of ceremony written, and of course, a reception to end all receptions!
The children worked extremely hard with Miss Eunson and Mrs Lind to design and make the different props they would need such as bouquets, button holes and wedding rings.
The bride-to-be enjoyed her walk around the school, visiting different members of staff and classes before meeting her ‘dad’, ready to be walked down the aisle.
The ceremony took place ‘inside a church’ and the guests joined in well with their singing and encouragement.
Afterwards, photographs were taken ‘outside the church’ with all the wedding party and guests. It was then time for the ‘first dance’ and a bit of a party.
The cutting of the cake was also a highlight of the afternoon and the wedding party and guests enjoyed some beautiful wedding cake and drinks (of water!)
Time for some more dancing and then the final song and dance of the wedding, ‘Loch Lomond’.
The children (and all the adults involved!) had a fantastic time and the whole afternoon certainly showcased their learning to a high standard.
Well done to everyone involved. And congratulations to the happy couple! 🙂
