St Albans Cathedral’s Christmas In-School Workshop
About.
St Albans Cathedral’s in-school Christmas workshop.
This interactive workshop brings Christmas and the Christmas story to life inside your own school. Ideal for Key stage 1 and 2 and using various artefacts including puppets and robes worn by the priest, the students will learn about the meaning of Advent, the importance of Christmas to Christians, the way in which Christmas is celebrated in the Cathedral, before finishing with the Christmas story.

Covering a range of curriculum areas, they offer activities for students of all Key Stages including teaching about Romans, Saxons, Medieval, Tudors, Victorians, RE and learning about the Christian Faith, as well as Maths and Science.
Using role play, artefacts, experiential learning and the building itself, students encounter the stories and history of St Albans Cathedral and learn in new and inspiring ways through a variety of trails and workshops. A fascinating and thought-provoking day in this magnificent setting can provide new skills, deeper understanding and a stimulus for further study.
