Children in Fressingfield could not believe their eyes, as they walked first around, and then through Norwich Catholic Cathedral of John the Baptist. We had an amazing talk by Tania, who told us all about the gothic style of the building (arches pointing to Heaven, stained glass and flying buttresses), and also about the symbolism of the artwork in a Catholic church. We had a fantastic time, and saw some stunning spectacles. Some of our favourite things were the awesome stained glass, and the stories it tells, and also the 3,00 year old fossil-encrusted pillars.  Can you spot three local saints in our pictures, including St Edmund and St Felix?

Children from Fressingfield had an amazing time visiting Norwich Synagogue. With a very warm welcome from Deborah, we learned all about preparing for Shabbat, including the food, drink and prayers used. We then looked more closely at some Jewish artefacts, including caps (kippah) and prayer shawls (tallit). But our two favourite things were seeing the amazing, shiny, clinking torah, and then having a go writing our names in Hebrew. 

Fressingfield sent a team of 9 to the U11 Dynamos Cricket tournament on Thursday to compete against teams from across our region of the county. We enjoyed some tightly fought games in the idyllic surroundings of Mellis Cricket Club. The whole team performed well, and huge improvements in both individual skills and team tactics were made over the course of the afternoon. Some of the highlights included Amelia, Chloe and Summer’s energetic, focused fielding, Poppy’s enthusiastic encouragement of her team-mates, Liam and Ella’s catching, Shawn and William’s batting, and Calum bowling someone out, catching a second and hitting a six all in the space of one five minute spell.  

Over the five games we played, we lost three, won two and finished in joint fourth position in our group. Well done Team Fress!
