Spring Curriculum 2023
Friday 16th December - Christingle Service
Today we had our Christingle Service. Our Year told the whole school what Christingle is and why we celebrate it each year.
Christingle means 'Christs Light' and it is a symbol of the Christian faith. They are made up of different parts and each one is a symbol to remind us of something.
The orange represents the world.
The candle reminds Christians of Jesus who they believe to be the light of the world.
The red ribbon goes all round the 'world' and being the colour off blood, reminds Christians that Jesus died ti save the world.
The four cocktail sticks repesent the four seasons; Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. They have dried fruit to represent all the good things in the world.
Each year has their own Christingle to keep in their classroom.

We made our own posters and demonstrated what a protest would look like.
