Today it was 2CN’s turn to contribute to our whole-school Advent display in the hall and their special line was the beautiful message from the Angel Gabriel: “Do not be afraid, Mary.” Luke 1:30

We talked about how Mary might have felt when the angel appeared; surprised, curious, maybe even a little worried, and how Gabriel brought a message of peace and reassurance. The children thought about what it means to be calm and brave, especially when something unexpected happens.

After our discussion, the class created wonderful drawings showing the moment Gabriel visited Mary. Some of their artwork will be displayed with the rest of the school’s Advent pieces, reminding us all of the importance of hope, courage, and trust as we journey toward Christmas.
