Reception class have been learning about belonging and being special in RE. We learnt about a special welcoming ceremony in the Christian faith called Baptism. We recreated our own Baptism ceremony in our school chapel. The children acted as the parents, godparents and the priest. They blessed the baby with holy water at the front and traced a cross on the baby’s head to show that Jesus is their special friend. The cross reminds us of Jesus. We lit the special candle to show that the baby will shine like a light in the world.
