Reverend Jonathan Carmyllie

In June Reverend Carmyllie came to speak to Year 6 about his experience of pilgrimage. He taught them what pilgrimage meant and why it was so important. He also explained to the children that the scallop shell had become an important symbol for pilgrims.

Bishop of Burnley

Bishop Philip, the Bishop of Burnley kindly agreed to talk to our Year 6 Oak class as part of their learning on why and how do we prepare at Advent. He also delivered an amazing assembly to the whole school, which we all loved and learnt so much from.

Bishop Philip really inspired the children during his visit. We thought about gifts and the message of Christmas. Bishop Philip was also kind enough to answer our tricky questions!
