LVS Ascot IJS students celebrated the lead up to Christmas with a Christingle service that was held last week on Thursday the 2nd December. The students loved decorating their Christingles together in time for the service!
In order to ensure we were COVID safe this year, we decided to limit the numbers in the school hall where our first part of the service was held. We streamed this part of the service via teams to the rest of the children that watched from their classrooms. All the singing and readings were really well done and everyone gave it their full efforts and adapted brilliantly.
For the second part of our IJS Christingle service we took our Christingles and gathered round the Christmas tree outside. We said the Lords Prayer all together and then lit our Christingles back in the school playground which was more sheltered from the wind! The children then had a moment of reflection with their teachers. What a great way to bring all the students together!
The teacher that led the service said “The children were full of Christmas cheer during the IJS Christingle Service. Their beautiful readings, poems and singing were a joy to hear and made us all proud to be part of the LVS community”.
