RE- Nativity Time!!

Just because we are not in school does not mean we cannot be part of our own nativity. We are going to be working with the other classes in school to create a whole school nativity.

What we need you to do is to get creative. Below is a list of ideas you may decide to do. You can create a piece of art work or even sing a carol. Whatever you decide to do please remember to take a picture or a video and e-mail into school.
