To my teacher friends...a new, free resource for you. A year's worth of whole-school Monday Celebrations of the Word!
Led by children easy to personalise and prepare.
They were originally written for St Patrick's, Walton le Dale, and used there for many years. I've brought them up to date and am delighted to finally share them!

Monday Celebrations of the Word for Primary Schools throughout the year.
