What's Christmas all about?

It's been great to have the opportunity these last few weeks of visiting my local primary school to take Keystage 2 RE lessons looking at Christmas - what it's all about and why it is important to Christians.

Here are a few of the resources that I've used this year.

First, we separated out which parts of their Christmas story come from the Bible and which parts are simply tradition. The children enjoyed this video from Igniter Media 




If you've not come across the FreeBibleImages resources yet then visit their website now. They have a whole range of pictures covering the Christmas story to help it be retold with stunning images.

Then there are all the resources available via RE:quest - a website that resources those teaching RE and taking assemblies etc who want to explore the big questions of what Christians believe and the Bible teaches.

If you know of any other resources let me know - I'll need some different ones next year!
