School Year, Church Year
Customs
and Decorations for the Classroom.
Coloured leaves in September, pumpkins in October,
Advent wreaths to the birth of Jesus in December and snowflakes in January.
Hearts in February, Shamrocks in March and Easter bunnies in April. But why? Do
you ever long for something a little different and think, "Instead, maybe I
could..."? This amazing new book will walk you through the school year, give you
a crash course on the Church's year and suggest customs you can use with
children of all ages from Advent to Easter, autumn to summer. You'll learn how
to set up and decorate a classroom that will form your students in the
tradition of biblical and liturgical images as well as how to make spectacular
bulletin board and table top displays. You'll also have an invaluable resource
to turn to when questions arise.
Peter Mazar is the author of the best-selling
book To Crown the Year: Decorating the Church through the Seasons.
The wisdom and practicality of that book led teachers and catechist to ask if
there was anything similar for them. This is it! A must-have for any teacher,
catechist, r.e. co-ordinator, headteacher, Head of R.E., school or college
chaplain, parish or school secretary.
