As the festive season rapidly approaches, classrooms everywhere begin to shimmer with excitement, energy and (let’s be honest) a fair amount of glitter. The final weeks of term can be magical, but they can also be overwhelming. With rehearsals, last-minute timetable changes and pupils buzzing with anticipation, teachers often need something simple, calming and meaningful to bring the room together.
That’s why Settle Stories and Stories For Schools have created a free, ready-made Nativity story resource designed specifically for busy teachers who want something beautiful, easy to use and instantly effective.
In this classic tale of the Nativity, join Mary and Joseph in a Bethlehem stable for the story of the birth of Jesus Christ where guided by a star, shepherds and wise men brought gifts for Jesus Christ on the day that marks the first Christmas.
This timeless story is suitable for all ages and can be used in a wide range of settings, making it the perfect flexible resource for your end-of-term planning. Whether you’re teaching Early Years, KS1 or KS2, the Nativity Story resource pack gives you everything you need with no preparation required.
