Class 1S Christingles

Class 1S learnt all about Christingles this week in RE and also the symbolism of each part. The orange represents the world in which we live and the red ribbon is for the blood when Jesus died. The candle shows that Jesus is the light of the world and the 4 cocktail sticks represent the four seasons, or some people think the four compass directions - north, south, east and west. 

We had fun decorating our Christingles with sweets, chocolate raisins and marshmallows to celebrate all the good things that God has given us. Look out for online Christingle services in our area if you too, want to join in!

A couple of local options...

Class 6W English

Comprehension comes in all different forms. We are studying the narrative poem The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes. After listening to it the children then had a selection of sentences from the poem which they had to put in the correct order to tell the story. 

It wasn't an easy task but they did very well.
