With Christ at our side to guide us,
we shine in all that we do.

Y1 Christingles

By

Year 1 have been learning about Christingles, a symbolic representation of Christ’s light. The children carefully followed the instructions on how to make them and worked in teams to create them.

With oranges representing the world, red ribbons symbolising the blood of Christ, sweets and dried fruits signifying God’s creations, and a candle as the light of Christ, the children gained a deeper understanding of the religious meaning behind the Christingle tradition.

We then went into the hall and had a small liturgy where we lit the candles on the Christingles and said some special prayers.

Joy In My Heart

Some of our junior choir were asked to sing at Rainton arena on Thursday 23rd November as part of the Journeys of Hope project. They were joined by other children from the Bishop Chadwick Education Trust for an evening of Joy. The children sang beautifully and should be really proud of themselves.
