Some beautiful colourful South American crosses designed by Year 1 at the Bluecoat School as part of their Arts Weeks. The Easter song, ‘When I think about the cross’ was used as a stimulus for the drawings. The children also wrote about what they think of when they see the cross at Easter time.

​Monday 24th - Friday 28th September 2012.
www.walsingham.org.uk
​This week we have experienced a most beautiful Pilgrimage to the Holy Shrine of 'Our Lady of Walsingham' in Norfolk. Both for those who went for the first time and those who had been before, it was a special journey of discovery and rediscovery. We joined with pilgrims from St. Peter's Plymouth and Bp. John Ford led the addresses based on 'showing the face of Jesus'. Special prayers were said for everyone here in Torrington.
