Please note this programme was originally published in December 2021. We are no longer reviewing emails and messages from schools for inclusion in the lesson or on the website.
Join us for a very festive Live Lesson as we gear up for Christmas.
We explore what Christmas is and why we have a Christmas break from school, show how people of all faiths, as well as non-religious people in the UK, spend their time during the Christmas period, and we have a VIP backstage tour of a Christmas panto!
We're also be joined by Jimmy Farm's star Jimmy Doherty who shares a delicious Christmas recipe.
Curriculum links: Religious education and citizenship for 7-11 year-olds.
