Year 1 R.E. Advent and Christmas learning activities

Lesson: Religious education

Class: Year 1 Year: 2024 - 2025

During November and December Year 1 have enjoyed learning activities linked to our R.E. branch about ‘Prophecy and Promise.’

In our enhanced provision area, the children had the opportunity to choose some fun and practical tasks to reinforce our teaching inputs in class. 

We have loved art work linked to the Bible story of the Annunciation when Angel Gabriel visited Mary with a special message.

We used paintings of this event, by different artists, to inspire us! The light surrounding the Angel was a special feature we noticed and recreated.

Other popular activities have been….

Playdough modelling of scenes and characters from the Nativity.

Sequencing of images to create our own mini Nativity books.

Drama and role play using our stick puppets.

Making our own Christmas card with the scene in the stable – complete with an opening door!

Card sorting activity – looking at images on a range of cards and sorting them into groups of those that retell the Nativity story and those which show other scenes of modern Christmas images.

Painting baby Jesus pebbles

We hope you enjoyed the special things that we made for you and brought home to share!
