We will listen to the story of the Wise men arriving in Bethlehem. The link below will help you to do this at home.
Can you then draw a picture and write a key thing that you remember from the story. I have attached a PDF word mat which has some of the key words on from the story.

We are going to write our hopes for 2021.
