Edited Malcolm Taylor

Designed to provide cross-curricular teaching activities, primarily for Key Stage 2, to cover a term’s work.

Included are activity cards with fact sheets, folk dances, songs, carols, plays, plus information on the season’s customs. The aim is to increase awareness of the traditional folk culture of Britain and provide practical ideas for schools to use elements of past traditions in dance, drama, music, art, English, maths, history, geography, biology and technology.
