We came into school, ready and eager to make the most of the first school day of 2022. This is a big year for Year 6 and we are ready for the challenges which lay before us.
We began the day by looking at the arrival of the three wise men who arrived to see the baby Jesus. We learned how the Wise Men are significant as they are symbolic to the fact that Jesus came for everyone- wherever we may be from, whatever our culture or status- Jesus is for everyone.
We then learned about the symbolic meanings for the gifts the wise men brought:
Gold -for a King
Frankincense – for a high priest
Myrrh- to heal the wounds they would be inflicted upon him when he would die for us.
The children then wrote up the information about the religious symbolism in the Epiphany and began to design Epiphany cards
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the kind cards and gifts you gave me and other members of the Y6 staff team for Christmas. We very much appreciate your kindness and support.
I wish you all a very happy new year and a happy Epiphany!
Best wishes,
Mrs Gallaher
