We also found a Sint Maarten book for our older monsters and it turns out that Sint Maarten is not about lanterns and parades. Sint Maarten is not a party but a day of remembrance for a man who lived a long time ago and who did a lot of good. But just like the children in the book, our mini monsters don't know who Sint Maarten was and what good he did. It's high time to find out!
In the book, the class goes on a quest devised by the teacher, looking for the hammer of Sint Maarten. In addition to an original story, you also read (dosed) history, of Utrecht in particular,
