Festivals

Festivals play an important part in primary schools, both as part of a multicultural ethos which embraces both the curriculum and also assemblies, and as a significant part of RE. This collection provides, in one easily accessible volume, poems, stories and songs appropriate for a whole range of seasonal and religious festivals and celebrations. The material is arranged by the calendar year and covers festivals of the six major religions (Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism). As well as traditional material there will be newly commissioned contributions from distinguished writers such as Wes Magee, Judith Nichols, Grace Hallworth, Isaac Bashevissinger and Ruskin Bond.
