Here you can see the children discovering lots of different objects which indicate the importance of Christmas, the children discussed what each object was and what is represents. We then had our own mini carol service in the classroom and enjoying singing songs. Then the children ended the day by creating their own Art-work to represent the stable scene from the Nativity story.
