First Federation Trust
Well, what an amazing couple of days we have had in the last week! On Friday, we all went to the Devon County Show and had a fantastic time. We saw a wide variety of farm activities and animals: we all fell in love with the alpacas and a few children even wanted to bring one home (I believe some children are going to put one on their Christmas list, so be warned!). We pressed apples and drank apple juice, sampled different foods, had animal encounters and also encounters with the robot, Titan. We had fun in the Police tent making fingerprint keyrings, putting on uniform items and sitting behind the steering wheel of a Police car. We cheered as children raced their ponies and thoroughly enjoyed looking at the prize winning farm animals which were brought into the show ring at the end of the afternoon. By the time we got back on to the coach, we were all exhausted, but we had had a brilliant time.
On Wednesday afternoon, as part of Church Week, we went to Emmanuel Church. We learnt about communion and worship; explored the stained glass window designed by William Morris; created a timeline of Bible events and even learned how to play a tune on handbells.
Please enjoy our slide shows of these events, below.
