A wondrous day with my first school: Boyton, with 17 children and 3 adults. They wanted to stay the whole day. Some comments from the book.
- Very moving indeed and very inspiring and helpful. Thank you.
- An amazing collection of thought provoking paintings. The children really enjoyed their experience today – Thank you so much for your kindness.
- (This teacher wants to come back with her brother)
(The mini bus driver wants to come back with wife and children) - Very inpsiring – bringing the Bible and our faith to life. The children and ourselves have gained so much from being able to share with you today. Thank you for your help and for sharing your Christian faith through deed and action. CF
- Rushed through! then found out they were on display for longer, we will be back!
- Thank you! A revelation and extremely thought provoking……….
- Thank you for allowing the children to come to this outstanding art exhibition.
- Though it is an art exhibition, it is also a spiritual journey through the Bible: the story of creation, the fall, and the Creator’s solution through the death and resurrection of the Christ, and on to revelation. It is indeed a remarkable piece of ‘living’ art, speaking afresh each time we look and gaze.
The 17 children that came were extremely well behaved and good mannered. So was the mini-bus driver!
I was very impressed with the lesson preparation that the staff had done for this session and it worked well with how I envisioned it to be.
Having brought their own art materials the children set to work on their own interpretation of the paintings, choosing a favourite one, classifying and describing it then looking through a viewfinder, to do more detailed work.
The children really appreciated that the more they looked the more they found – and they found the shepherd in the picture of the Vine. very well done, and congratulations on a well behaved class.
