Year 1 reflect on their learning during Advent

Today, we had a class circle time and considered all of the learning we had done within the topic of Advent (the lead up to Christmas) and how we could apply some of these teachings to our own lives. 

We recapped all of our learning about preparing and waiting, which included the Advent wreath, the Christingle, and the Nativity story. 

As a class, we carefully considered deeper questions such as: 

How do we feel when we are waiting?

Why can waiting be difficult?

How can we help others to wait?

Our final BIG question that we answered individually was:

How can you use what you have learned about Advent in your own life this year? 

Some of our answers included:

"We can wait with our family and light a candle from the Advent wreath" - Jorel

"We can pray while we are waiting" - David

"We can be kind when we are waiting and help our family decorate the house" - Benjamin 

"We can retell the Nativity story and think about Jesus" - Mia
