Description

Packed with ideas for the primary school teacher, this book includes stories, songs and dramatic activities from six major world religions: Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism. The book is helpfully split into topic areas which include: - New beginnings - Places of worship - Friends - Festivals - Rites of passage - Water themes - Animals and birds - Inspirational leaders There is also a useful section of background information for teachers on the different world religions featured as well as pronunciation guides for some of the songs featured. Multi-faith Activity Assemblies brings together Elizabeth Peirce's previous books, Activity Assemblies for Christian Collective Worship 5-II and Activity Assemblies for Multi-racial Schools 5-II. Taking the best ideas from both and adding plenty of new material, it will be invaluable to any primary school teacher or trainee teacher who is looking for a collection of assembly ideas that promote tolerance and understanding of the multi-faith society in which we live.

Reviews

'I would have it on a list of useful books. Elizabeth Peirce's two assembly books have been staple diet in many schools so I can see no reason why a new addition.... should not be useful also.' - Derek Bastide, Senior Lecturer in Primary RE at the University of Brighton 'I would certainly recommend this book to students and teachers as an essential purchase... there is no book as comprehensive or so full of reliable information.' - Mollie Bertin, former Advisory Teacher for RE in East Sussex and Editor of RE Today
