St. Albans Cathedral

Everyone in Lewis Class went to St Albans Cathedral. We had to sing
lots of difficult hymns. The hymns were One more step along the world I go, Two hundred years of learning, Be still for the presence of the Lord, For all the saints and I the lord of sea and sky.

The chairs were wooden and had a gap underneath to put a cushion for praying. The floor was made of marble and we saw statues of people that looked like saints.

The Bishop had a long golden pole and a funny hat. He was covered in coloured jewels.

Some students from a drama school came along; they sang and danced to Joyful, Joyful. We thought they were great and we enjoyed it, we even did a little dance in our seats.  Then there was a robot and it took us to the past it taught us about the most important person, this was a child. They acted out a story of a man with a beard who wanted to find some water and a child helped him to find it. The child was Jessica.

On the way back on the coach we sang all the hymns we learned.
