Good morning. If you're working at home today, here are your lessons.

Good morning, Dear Jesus

I give you this day,

My soul and my body,

My work and my play.

All for you dear Jesus,

All for you this day.

Amen

RE– LEARNING INTENTION:         Preparing for special times.

Talk about preparing to come to school in the morning. What do you do? Is it the same each day? How do we prepare for special occasions: e.g. a party or going on holiday etc. What jobs does each person have to do?

  1. Why is it necessary to prepare?
  2. What would happen if you didn’t prepare?
  3. How do you feel when you are preparing for special times?
  4. What sort of preparations do members of the family make for Christmas?
  5. What would happen if people didn’t prepare for Christmas?
  6. Is there anything you don’t like about preparations – for example, crowded shops?

 

SOME SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES

  • Make a list of the preparations that are made at home in readiness for Christmas. For example, buying cards, stamps, gifts, food; making cakes, puddings, mince pies; preparing decorations, a tree; booking a special outing to a pantomime or a meal.

Make a list of the preparations that are being made in the neighbourhood and the media for Christmas, e.g. shop displays, catalogues, advertisements, street lights and decorations, television programmes, carol singers, Father Christmas etc.

CONTINUOUS PROVISION

  • Make Christmas decorations e.g. paper chains, baubles.

REFLECTION ON SIGNIFICANCE

Gather around the display or focus and have a quiet moment to reflect on and appreciate the preparations being made at home for Christmas.

Reflect:

I’m glad my family prepares for special times...

I enjoy preparations for Christmas because...

 

Let’s think of people who are working to make Christmas a happy time for others.
