In preparation for the 2008 Lambeth Conference the South-Eastern Education and RE advisers prepared Bishops In Action for use in English schools. The resource includes general information about Anglican bishops, their role, particular bishops, including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and other material. One section is a St. Nicholas Project with PowerPoint, activities, songs, and links. To download: click on "Downloads" then "St. Nicholas Project." Bishops In Action includes fact files for teachers and pupils, worship suggestions, photos, and videos.

Bert and Ernie Meet Sinterklaas 
The script from the Sesamstraat CD Hoor Wie Klopt Daar Kinderen: Sinterklaas in Sesamstraat is translated from the Dutch. Sinterklaas helps Bert and Ernie understand what friendship really is. It is long, as the entire CD is here, but could be shortened for classroom use, perhaps by cutting some of the songs (other songs would need to be used in any case).
