On Monday December 14^th, Issie, our school Chaplain, lead Year 2 in a retreat. We talked about the preparations you make for a journey and drew the items that Mary and Joseph would need in a rucksack. We then focused on how we prepare for Christmas and the coming of Jesus. In the afternoon, the children were introduced to the story of The Visitation and talked about how each of the people in the story would have felt-Mary, Elizabeth, Zachariah and Joseph.  They prepared short dramas about each of these people and their feelings. The day ended with the children preparing and taking part in a class Liturgy.
