This week was Year  2’s class assembly. We looked at how Christmas was celebrated around the world. We found out that different Christian countries have very different traditions for celebrating Christmas and the birth of Jesus.

In Poland they look for the first star in the sky before they begin their celebrations. This star is called the Gwiazda. In China their celebrations are held on Christmas eve and they decorate their trees with beautiful paper lanterns. In Australia they have a Christmas BBQ on the beach in the hot sun! They all wear Santa hats and eat lots of yummy food.

The children were fantastic. They all had loud and clear voices and sang their songs really well.
