What might have happened in their adventures?

Are there any clues we might take from the illustrations?

Are there any other stories inspired by the professor’s collection of artefacts that you might like to hear?

First look at the powerpoint about the Feast of the Epiphany which was on Wednesday, 6th January.

Imagine you are one of the three wise men who had travelled to see the baby Jesus.

What three gifts would you bring him and why?

Think of three gifts of value and which might say something about Jesus.

Draw the three gifts and colour them.

Write a sentence explaining why you have chosen them.

For example: I would give baby Jesus a wooden toy donkey because he grew up to be a carpenter and he rode on a donkey.
