We had a wonderul array of styles of Christmas jumpers for our Xmas jumper day today!
It was an afternoon of fun with Elizabeth Breakey and Mrs Ross. The ladies came in to make Christingles with the children.
Elizabeth shared the Christian meaning behind the Christingle. Each element of a Christingle has a special meaning and helps to tell the Christian story:
- The orange represents the world
- The red ribbon (or tape) symbolises the love and blood of Christ
- The sweets and dried fruit represent all of God’s creations
- The lit candle represents Jesus’s light in the world, bringing hope to people living in darkness.
Next on the agenda was a role play of the nativity. The boys and girls acted out the story as angles, shepherd, kings and Mary and Joseph to retell the Christmas story.
The children really enjoyed the hands-on activity which helped spread the Christmas spirit. Thank you to Mrs Ross and Elizabeth for a great afternoon!
We sung Happy Birthday to Mrs Ross to celebrate her big birthday. There was cake and treats to share too!
We were also joined by the RNLI crew who gave out Christmas goodie bags for the children to enjoy. These were crammed full of treats! Thank yoiu to our lovely community. The boys and girls have been very lucky today!
