Norwich Cathedral
Education News
This Christmas will be even more special for all those
visitors and pilgrims who come to Norwich Cathedral!
From 6th December onwards we will have a ’Living Crib’ situated in
the centre of the cloister. We have
worked in partnership with local artists to create life-size replicas of the
holy family in the stable and even plan to populate the crib with animals from
Easton College. Several Libby Purves’ cribs will compliment the cloister Living
Crib, which will be located within the Cathedral.
*
This is a wonderful opportunity for children to come and
experience the great joy and meaning of Christmas.
School visits to the crib are
free of charge and are possible from Monday 9th December onwards.
Please telephone Saul Penfold on 01603 218320 to make a booking. We
look forward to welcoming you.

Join us on a journey through time as Norwich
Cathedral’s fascinating past is brought vividly back to life.
The
Cathedral cloisters provide a unique setting and learning environment as pupils
and staff meet and interact with a whole host of colourful characters that have
helped shape the history of this great building. Characters will include a
musician,
soldier, herbalist, Benedictine monk,
medieval
scribe and candle maker as we bring to life both medieval and Tudor Norwich.
This ‘hands on’ learning experience is closely linked to
National Curriculum areas of study and is certainly not to be
missed!

Anne Frank, A History for Today
October 2003
The Anne Frank exhibition will be on loan to us from the
Anne Frank Educational Trust during October
2003.
This exhibition is highly valued by teachers as a means of
teaching across the curriculum, including responsible
citizenship, and it will be free for all visitors.
Norwich Cathedral is also working with partner
organisations to provide a programme of INSET, workshops,
conferences and other activities centred around the themes of the exhibition. More details to follow early
