We have had a wonderful week "Following the Star" with about 200 children stargazing: finding out about constellations,

looking through telescopes and imagining the journey of the Magi to the stable in Bethlehem.

A big thank you to Ben Rhydding School's Years 1 and 2 who produced a wonderful reproduction in pictures

of the journey Christopher Stanfield took from Egypt to Somaliland, raising funds for the Edna Adan  Hospital:

and to the Pre-School who created a wonderful model of the stable at Bethlehem.

During their visits children also heard about a journey in the other direction, from Eritrea to this country

by a refugee called Abraham, fleeing from persecution at home. They struggled to lift his water bottle

and learnt what it is like to cross the desert.

Thanks are due to all the children who visited us with their eager questions

and to their teachers who shepherded them around the exhibition.
