What is it about?
I invited primary-aged children to write prayers to God, with no rules, then I checked how much religious language they used and checked to see if this varied either by age of the children (school years 1, 3 or 5) or by the type of school (Roman Catholic, Church or England or non-faith). I considered possible reasons for the results in the light or various approaches to children's spirituality.
