RE Year 5 – Is Christmas only for Christians? – How is Christmas celebrated around the world?

In the lesson today year 5 looked at how Christians celebrate Christmas and debated the message it brings for the Christian faith. We looked at a variety of sources of evidence about how Christians around the world may celebrate differing traditions and looked at what was similar and what was different. We talked about how in our class the children may be celebrating Christmas and how a person of faiths house may be different to their own. We also discussed as a class about those who do not celebrate Christmas and how their lives might be like at this time.
