Description

Many primary schools like to teach Christmas every year. Good teachers will always try to make links with children's experience, to build on what is familiar and to deepen and broaden this into what is new and unfamiliar. Christmas is an ideal opportunity for this.
This publication identifies a series of yearly 'themes', each of which is central to the Christian understanding of Christmas and appropriate to the age, abilities and interests of pupils. Good RE planning always tries to ensure such a balance between helping children learn about what religions teach and believe, and helping children learn about themselves from their learning in REl Each of the units outlined in this publication provides practical suggestions for helping pupils develop their knowledge and understanding of the Christmas event and its meaning for Christians (learning about), whilst enabling them to draw meaning from it for their own lives (learning from).
