Creation

We are all unique: we may have similar interests to others or choose to wear the same clothes but it will never make us identical. In the same way, when it comes to learning about things we all learn in different ways. For some children you may be able to jump straight into a subject

AMEN

There are quite a few things that we take for granted in life and don’t really think about until they are either taken away or someone asks us about them. In the same way that as an adult I’m not as awestruck by the sight of an aeroplane as many toddlers are I find that

A Great Man (who thought he was small and unimportant)

‘The Word of God came to me saying: ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you: before you came to birth I consecrated you: I appointed you as a prophet to the nations’ I then said, ‘ah ah, ah Lord God, you see, I do not know how to speak: I am only

Mustard Seeds

The Feast of Ascension

As it’s the Feast of Ascension this week I thought I would take a look online and see what resources are already available to support talking about this topic with children and young people, with additional needs at home. If you enjoy doing colouring or creating then there are some great free crafts you can

Crowning Mary
