Kerry Eady (verified owner) –
While we celebrate Advent together as a school, each class holds that reverent expectant space through December. This is a lovely resource particularly for those who want to bring the Christian stories to life in their class room. I personally make a point of bringing in other cultures’ festivals of lights over the years, and this gives me non-dogmatic stories that are just right for this age of children. As a mentor I don’t often suggest ‘open and follow’ resources as they don’t ring true and always feel a little shallow, but having these sorts of stories and activities for festivals when there is so much else happening in the classroom is a great gift. Whether you are going to use a little or a lot, this is well worth having, ready to pull out.
