Festivals Across the Year 9-11

Description

Each book features festivals of all the major religions (Christian, Jewish, Sikh, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu and Chinese) as they occur in chronological order throughout the school year, providing background information and pupil materials to reflect the traditions and celebrations. The photocopiable activities are suitable for assemblies (on an OHP) or as a classroom resource. They require minimal preparation and would be ideal for use by classroom assistants, supply teachers and after school clubs. They would also make a useful addition to the school's RE programme.

Andrew Brodie was a head teacher for twelve years after many successful years in the primary classroom. He began writing his best-selling educational books in 1992 and since then has established himself as a name that teachers have come to trust. He is still very much involved in education and continues to teach on a regular basis. Judy Richardson has extensive experience as a writer of educational materials, including 'Assembly Today'. She was a full time teacher for many years and rose to become Deputy Head teacher of a Norfolk First School. She still teaches on a regular basis.
