'Oh, and Timothy Bear, I want you to be the innkeeper's boy. Do you think a teddy bear can play the part of a boy?' Miss Read might not have picked the part that Timothy Bear had in mind for himself, but it led him into all sorts of adventures and taught him many things. Looking forward to Christmas with Timothy Bear contains 18 pick-up-and-use assembly programmes for KS1 teachers, complete with memorable easy-to-read stories, telling tips, Bible links, suggestions for songs, optional prayers, and questions and activities to explore and develop the theme of the story - ideal for collective worship and classroom follow-up. The stories are based on the preparation and performance of a traditional nativity play for Key Stage One pupils, providing an ideal link with the excitement of the school's own nativity production.
