Parkside School students celebrate the Feast of Ascension

Parkside Federation students, Lily Rathbone, Alice Gardner, Hannah McDonald, Betty Tooher-Rudd, Rachel Skinner, Orla Garrigan Mattar, Emily Nethsingha and Eli Rubies had an exciting start to their day when they joined their fellow choristers in Great St Mary’s Choir, go up early and climbed St Mary’s Tower in Cambridge.   On reaching the top of the tower, the choir sang hymns to celebrate The Feast of the Ascension which commemorates Jesus’ ascension into heaven 40 days after his resurrection.

Lily Rathbone said she felt very pleased and happy as she really enjoyed singing with the Choir, was amazed by the view from the top of the tower and how beautiful the hymns sounded.
