They started off in the churchyard, looking up at the dragon, and listening to the clock strike ten.
Then we went up in the gallery to see the whole of the church laid out before us.
They had a look at the organ, the big picture of Jesus ascending, and the cross on the east wall (that was there, several of the children told me, because Jesus died on the cross). Another child pointed out the men on the ground of the Ascension picture and told us they were disciples.
Back downstairs we gathered around the font to find out about baptism, and I showed the children what happens when someone is baptised with the help of a couple of volunteers.
They were full of enthusiasm, bursting with questions, and very well-behaved.
