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.

This programme was originally broadcast in December 2021. Please note that we are no longer reviewing emails and messages from schools for inclusion on the page.
