On Friday Year 2 performed their class assembly exploring Christmas around the world.

The children learned their lines, learned new songs and used their acting skills to put on a fantastic show. Their voices were loud and clear and they sang beautifully – well done!

We visited China, Australia and Poland to see how they celebrate Christmas. We found out that in Poland they believe the star (Gwiazjda) is very important at Christmas and when they see it on Christmas eve, they can begin their feast!

In China they believe Jesus is the light of the world so lights play a very special part in their celebrations. Many Christians in China make paper lanterns to decorate their trees.

In Australia Christmas falls right in the middle of their summer holidays so it is very hot! Many Australian Christians head to the beach for a barbeque and games on the sand!
