Lesson on 25th Feb: Celebrating a new baby!
Today we had a celebration. You guys came in with ideas about how to celebrate a new birth and shared your ideas. We were particularly looking at how symbols were used in the celebration.
- Lots of heart-shaped things to represent love for the new baby
- Umbrellas to represent protection of the baby
- A drawing of a flower to symbolise the beautiful world into which the baby was born
- The baby was passed under the legs of lots of people in a box which was then opened. This symbolised that the baby was welcomed by everyone and then brought out of the darkness of the box into the light
