Our R.E. day this term looked at how light is used as a symbol in all religions. Diwali with the lamps, Hanukkah with the Menorah, and Christianity with advent. We found that Christianity uses light as a representation of hope and joy. We made a Christingle and talked about what each part represented. The orange = the world, the ribbon = Gods love, the candle = Jesus, the sticks = the four seasons and the sweet treats = all of Gods creations. We enjoyed creating our Christingle and were excited to bring them home to talk about them with our grown ups.
