The Art of All Hallows - Art & Design (Key Stages 1&2)
This visit helps children appreciate the contribution made to the building and its interior by artists and craftspeople. The children will understand the nature of a church as a place of worship, make observational drawings and investigate visual and tactile qualities of the building.

They will be taught about the meanings of signs and symbols in the church and learn about the tower, chapels, pulpit, font, pews, aisles and altar. Illustrations and photographs highlighting these features will be provided, and practical work includes a choice of stained glass window decorating, textile design or block printing. The workshop fits in with QCA Units '1F: What can we learn from visiting a church?‘ and '3A: What do signs and symbols mean in religion?‘

The History of All Hallows - History, Design & Technology, Art & Design (Key Stage 2)
The children will be introduced to the use of the church and the key features of All Hallows as a local history case study. They will look at materials and study resources such as pictures of All Hallows pre and post bombing. Responsibilities of the church will be examined, such as looking after the needs of the poor, as well as the importance of the church as a place of worship.
