Let's Celebrate Christingle

This week we have been celebrating Christingle and supporting the Children's Society by having our very own Christingle Assembly in school.







 On Monday Class 3 made the Christingles in R.E. They made enough Christingles so that everyone in school could have their own to take home. It was quite tricky getting the sweets onto the cocktail sticks.

Then on Wednesday afternoon we had a whole school Christingle Assembly which Class 3 presented.We sang a hymn about Christingle and said prayers to help vunerable children and young people.

Class 3 also explained what each part of the Christingle represents. The orange represents the world, the red ribbon is the blood of Christ, the sweets and dried fruits are all the beautiful creations God made and the candle represents Jesus the Light of the World.

Then we lit the Christingles and sang Shine Jesus Shine with the light out so that our candles shone brightly in the darkness.

Everyone has taken home a money box candle to help to raise money for the Children's Society. We will be making a donation to the Charity in January. Remember to ask your family and friends to put some coins in your box over the Christmas holiday.
