In today’s lesson the children considered what peace means and how this concept links to Jesus. They investigated how the message of Christmas is celebrated around the world and explored festivals of peace that are celebrated throughout the year. The children particularly enjoyed looking at how different Christmas traditions were done in different countries due to culture, nationality and ethnicity. We were able to draw on children’s experience within the class about how they will/will not be celebrating Christmas or how they will be doing something similar/different to others due to their beliefs. The children were able to look at Christmas through the faiths we have in the classroom: Islam, Christianity and Jehovah Witness.
