The Birth of Jesus

 Reverend Amanda and Reverend Dion came into school today and talked to the children about celebrating Christmas. They asked the children to think about others and not just focus on the presents. She then set a challenge to the teachers to build a christingle blindfolded. The children really enjoyed taking part in this. 

Today, Reverend Dion came to visit Priory Class and reminded us about the two different stories in the bible about the birth of Jesus. 

Two of the children read the passages and then the children discussed what angels look like as well as the meaning of ‘the line of David’.  The children were then given time to answer questions.
