We drew pictures of all the things and people we thought might have been at the first Christmas. We then investigated the Bible sources in the gospels of Matthew and Luke. Can you work out which things from our list were mentioned in the Bible and which weren’t’? We were quite surprised by some of the things that were NOT in the original sources but that are often part of our Christmas celebration... Have a look to see if you can work out what things shocked us! We also learned about the fact that Matthew and Luke were writing for different audiences and this influenced what they included in their accounts. We’ve become quite experts!
