The prospect of being dunked completely under water was a fascinating and scary idea which captivated the imagination of the Year 1and 2 class when they explored the theme of baptism. They wondered how this could relate to their experience of church, a swimming pool and having a bath! Many of the children remembered how the front of the Weymouth Baptist church looked during "End of Term" services, but now it looked completely different. Instead of a stage, the floor opened to reveal a small pool. After watching a video of a baptism taking place in the church and walking through the pool themselves the children gained an unforgettable experience of how members of the Weymouth Baptist church demonstrate their decision to follow Christ.
