Connections with Schools
I would love you to take 5 mins to have a think about a few things with regards to your connections with schools! Feel free to forward this to anyone else who you think might be interested.
EXPLORE THE CHRISTMAS STORY
Have you thought about how you (and the local church/es) could explore the Christmas Story with your local school(s)?
A couple of options to consider include:
-
Hosting a Christmas in a Box session – Click here for more info
-
Hosting an interactive trail like Christmas Through the Keyhole – THIS RESOUCE IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR FREE ON OUR WEBSITE – Click here
-
Running a pop-up Christmas/advent themed prayer/reflective space – lots of ideas on the Prayer Spaces in Schools Website – Click here
-
Leading a Christmas themed assembly.
-
Go Chatter – The Christmas Story Trail – this is the easiest trail to run! It is based around 5 signs that are placed in your church grounds/school grounds or local area. Children find the signs with an adult, scan the QR codes to play a hidden video about each of the nativity characters. Genius! Click here for info.

JESUS OUT OF THE BOX
Have you thought about hosting Jesus out of the Box with your local school(s)? – this is our newest resource aimed at school years 5-8. What could you do?
-
Have a look at the resource on our website – click here
-
Get in touch if you would like to chat more about this resource.
-
Chat to your local primary school RE lead to see where it would fit in their curriculum. Or think about how you could use it in a Secondary School – e.g. during a lunchtime club.
-
Book onto one of our next training sessions online or in person – click here
-
If you are in the Bristol area, we have a box set of resources you can borrow for FREE. You would just need to provide the consumables for each pupil.
DON’T HESITATE TO GET IN TOUCH if you need help with any of the above ideas. It would be lovely to have a chat in person or on zoom.
With our love, prayers and continuing to cheer you on!
