St Helen’s Catholic Primary School
Autumn 2
Week 6 (WC 6.12.21)
This week we have been very busy making arts and crafts for Christmas. We have also been thinking about people who may be alone over Christmas and we have made these beautiful cards which Morisons will be distributing over the next few days.
Week 5 (WC 29.11.21)
This Week we have been thinking all about "Advent". Advent means “arrival” or “coming,” and we will be thinking and remembering why Jesus came at Christmas.
We have also made Christingle candles. Each part of the Christingle candle has a special meaning:
- The orange represents the world
- The red ribbon is for the love and blood of Christ
- The dried fruit represent the four seasons
- The lit candle represents Jesus’s light in the world
