Knowledge & Understanding/RE- visit from Reverend Grace

On Tuesday we had a very special visitor - Reverend Grace from St. Paul's church in Pontyclun. He came to answer some of the questions that we had thought about regarding what the Christmas festival/tradition is like in Africa e.g. Do you have Christmas pudding? What happens on Christmas morning? Do you decorate a Christmas tree? Reverend Grace was happy to answer all our questions and told us that his family live in Uganda! We discovered things that were the same or similar to what we do in Wales for Christmas and we discovered things that were different such as they eat goat on Christmas day and they don't have Christmas pudding - they eat fresh fruit like mangoes and bananas!! Thank you for coming to visit us Reverend Grace - we found out lots of interesting information about Christmas in Uganda!
