* This week we are looking at the season of Epiphany.
* Watch the video on the blog. St James children have produced a fantastic video this for this week, looking at the importance of Epiphany.
* What, if anything, does the time of Epiphany mean to you?
* Why is it so important for Christians to have this season of Epiphany?
* Why do you think the visitors to Jesus are known as Magi or Wise Men?
* What does Epiphany mean?
* What do the 3 gifts symbolise?
* Why is the visit of the Three Wise Men important to Christians?
* Use your window, door and mirror key rings to reflect on not giving up. How do you feel now? What have you discovered? What will you take away from this week’s Ethos to Go?

The epiphany is important because it reminds us of jesus coming to earth to die for our sins. My new year resolution is to start being a bit more helpful at home as well as at school.

It is important to make sacrifices and give up things we don't necessarily need anymore to make room for things we have recieved at Christmas (Annabelle). We also think it is important to do things for others and show kindness and respect to others.
