Advent

On the first day of advent in school P1/2/3 listened to the Nativity story and discussed how they count down to Christmas with their Advent Calendars. We then explored other ways people mark advent and then made our own Advent Wreath complete with the five candles. Once we were finished we lit the first candle, the Candle of Hope. We learned that as they look at the light of this candle Christians celebrate the hope they have in Jesus Christ. Christians believe they can have hope because God is faithful and will keep the promises he made to mankind.
