During their RE lessons, Year 4 have been learning about the concept ‘anticipation’, in relation to advent and the different ways Christians prepare for Christmas. The children have also learnt about the symbolism of an Advent Wreath. Continuing the candle theme, Year 4 participated in a Christingle. We would normally attend St. Mary’s Church for our Christingle but this year, for Bubble safety, used our school hall for the occasion. The celebration reminded children about the symbols of the Christingle and how this related to their own lives. We reflected also on how we can feel scared or lonely in the dark. Thinking about everything that makes us feel warm and fuzzy made us all feel warm – just like the light of the Christingle which each child made.
