Good morning P2! I hope you have had a good weekend. I hope you are finding time to work, play and be with your family.
Today we are going to be learning to explore different family celebrations and understand how children are valued in Christianity. We are going to start by thinking about times in our life when we have family celebrations.
Step 1:- Talk to someone in your house about the types of family celebrations you might have. What ideas did you come up with? What ideas did they come up with? Write them down on a piece of paper or in your jotter.
Step 2:- Look at the following pictures. Talk to someone in your house about what happens at a birthday, a wedding, an engagement and a christening.
Step 3:- For all of these celebrations we buy and receive cards. Think about why we give cards. Write a list of all of the kinds of greeting cards you can think of .
Here is my list:-
- Christmas
- Easter
- Birthday
- Christening
- Birth of a baby
- Get well soon
- Good Luck
- Retirement
- congratulations
- Sympathy
- Thank you
- Mother’s day/Father’s day.
- New home
Do you know why you might give a good luck, congratulations, sympathy or thank you card? Talk about it with someone in your house. Can you pick out which ones are for Christian celebrations?
Step 4:- Choose any celebration you like and design a greetings card for it. Remember to write inside of it as well. Have a look at the examples below. These might give you ideas about what to draw. We need to know what kind of card it is so remember to use appropriate pictures or designs and words on the front of it too.
Have fun!
