The Christmas Journey
Last week, Years 1 and 2 went on an adventure to find out more about The Christmas Journey.
They were brilliant getting on the bus (we even got to sit upstairs!) and walking to St Mary Magdalene's Church in Prudhoe where we were taken back in time (2000 years!) to hear about why Christmas is so important to Christians.
We were introduced to the session by a lovely reading of the story "He's Here" by Kathy with lots of illustrations to help us visualise the story in our minds. Then we set off in our groups to explore the different stations around the Church.
There was the Temple in Jerusalem where Simeon and Anna told us about David and Goliath. The Three Wise Men (or Three Kings) told us how they followed a huge star, bringing expensive, rare gifts to give to the baby Jesus and that they kept his whereabouts a secret from the angry King Herod to protect him. We went to Bethlehem to see the Shepherds to hear them talk about the Angel and how Mary and Joseph had to return to Bethlehem to carry out a census but there was no room at the inn so they had to settle in a barn! There baby Jesus was born.
Each stop had some fun crafts for us to do to add to our Christmas Journey passports which helped us remember the story. We made crowns covered in jewels, fluffy sheep, mini Bibles and had some yummy biscuits and juice too!
The last stop was to see Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus to hear their side of the story and how they had to escape to Egypt to stop King Herod finding Jesus as he did not want him around. We sang and danced and were gifted a beautiful book for our classroom.
Then it was back on the bus (upstairs again woo) to get back to School.
A huge thank you to the team at St Mary Magdalene's Church for the fantastic experience, and to Revd Simon Grundy and Joy for helping us on the day. We had a great time 💜 ... See MoreSee Less
