Throughout our RE lessons this half term the children have been exploring the Christian religion and what they believe happened leading up to Christmas. The children have discussed how Bethlehem looked then and how it has changed to its current state. The children have read the story of Christmas and discussed the significant parts of the story including the shepherds getting the message from the angels, the three wise men travelling and following a star as well as king Herod’s reaction to Jesus’ birth. The children were able to share some ideas of how Mary and Joseph might have been feeling at this time. There has been some great discussion and knowledge surrounding their learning.
