Noisy celebrations at Lydiard

Written by 

The staff of Lydiard Millicent Primary School write:

We love our trips to All Saints Church, which is located almost at the end of our lane. Each Easter we celebrate with residents from the village and parents, with children in the church. However this year we arrived in style!

Each year group in school made either musical instruments, palm leaves or flags to wave and play as we walked to church.

We asked parents to line the lane and route to church and cheer and wave us on – just like Jesus all those years ago.

We were so surprised when parents tore leaves and branches down from the hedgerows, and waved and cheered us on. "It’s just like in the Bible story," one 5 year old exclaimed, obviously loving all the merriment!
