This is a worksheet where the children have to rewrite the story of David and Goliath (short, picking out the main details of the story). The worksheets are differentiated for LA and MA. I gave the HA the MA worksheet and extended them by asking them deeper thinking questions in their learning journals. At the end of the worksheet there is a question for LA - asking them what they liked about the story and why. The question at the end for the MA was asking them what they found inspiring about the story and why. As a whole class we practiced writing a summary of the story together, but you can use this to edit and make even better with your children! Will save time!

They should explain what Advent is and what the candles symbolise and then label each candle (JOY, HOPE, LOVE, PEACE & CHRIST).
