Janet and Mike Heslop came into school to talk to us about pilgrimage. They had undertaken St Cuthbert’s Way which is a pilgrimage from Melrose Abbey in Scotland to Lindisfarne and Holy Island on the Northumberland coast.
They talked about what they saw on route and the significance of different places.
The children asked questions and considered the difference between a journey and a pilgrimage.
They will be finding out more about pilgrimages taken by people from other World Faiths next half term.
