Year 2 visited church today to see the crib. 

We visited to church to see the crib and the three wise men visiting baby Jesus.  We talked about how the 3 kings are also called ‘The Magi’ and we spoke about the importance of the star that they followed to find baby Jesus.  One of our little boys suggested we sing the ‘Little Baby Jesus’ song…
