Christingle

On Monday 2nd December the whole school visited Reverend Gary at St Stephens Church on Angola Road. With the help of Open the Book, he told us the Christmas story. He told us about Baby Jesus being born in a stable and asked some of us to help with the story; some children with Mary and Joseph, some children were angels,  whilst others were sheep being looked after by their shepherds.  
We then learnt what a Christingle is and made one each. He explained what each part of the Christingle meant and the children listened carefully. 
All the children listened beautifully, sang some Christmas songs and made beautiful Christingles. The children took their Christingles home and it was lovely to see the children had put there’s back together and enjoyed their family about the visit to the church.
